Hi Hughie, So sorry to read you've had medical issues, trust you're better and on the way to a full recovery, nothing worse than being ill.
Looks like you're back and for sure made up the time, this is a stunning result, awesome piece as always, love the form, grain and finish, as for the timber, had to look up the name, over here Acacia - Laburnum are a species in the genus, family Leguminosae of Flowering Pea Plants.
Good to see your work as always. Cheers David
