I went to the Oak fair today. My first time there and it won't be my last, a thoroughly enjoyable day out. One of the stands had a box with odd and ends in it with a donation going to the air ambulance. So I had a root through and came up with 2 bowl blanks, one in Zebrano about 8" diameter and the other about 4" diameter which on first inspection I thought was Purple Heart. So the air ambulance won and so did I. There was something nagging in the back of my mind about the Purple Heart blank, a vibrant colour purple, the weight, a bit more than I thought it should be and the size, I have never seen a 4" PH blank before. So I investigated when I got home, turns out it is Ekki. The only other piece of Ekki I have worked was a 2" square piece that I eventually turned into a box, so quite chuffed with myself now.
