Little known fact. Persimmon heartwood is black. There's just never much of it. This piece of wood came from the base of the tree when my daughter in law cut the stump off close to the ground. I'm not crazy about the form. Maybe Crown Royal will be interested.

Kent, Here is some nice persimmon from an extremely large tree (about 20" base) . It has a lot of ebony looking grain. I have been keeping it submerged in water barrels until I use it.
