A huge tree

I do not know even the name of the tree, but it is very common tree in Hawaii.
It is a huge and wide tree.  The roots come down from the branches and getting wider and wider.

If it is in neighborhood, kids always would play around there.  I guess that it is too big for own yard.

It was a hot day afternoon,  but it was very cool under the tree.

Beech Wood Cover for Aritsugu Santoku Japanese Chef Knife

I have got beech lumber from my ex-boss who is cabinet maker a couple months ago, and he told me that it should be great wood for cooking knife handle and wood cover, so I tried to make it.

It is heavy wood like hard maple (hard wood).  It might be little heavier than even hard maple.
It is hard wood, so it is not easy to cut and sand, but it is clean look and it is easy to keep on accurate shape, and it is very nice wood pattern.  I love it all.
