It happens.

I am surprised that was not visible on the top of the blank. Certainly after it was rough cut out.

Yikes, that is a bummer!
Just some arm chair forensics here, but I wonder if there might have been a hint in the first picture on the left side?

As close as that flaw is to the surface, this should have been spoted as a flaw. When I'm selecting a blank & I spot a crack or flaw I use a long needle to probe the flaw. They can go very deep. Although, I have cut into a perfectly flawless blank & they ended up looking like swiss cheese. Sometimes it's just the luck of the draw.

It was a complete surprise.
The question is, will lightning strike twice?

That happens from time to time with feathercrotch walnut. At least Cecil will replace the blank. Many won't.

Cecil is a gem.

Here's the new blank.
Right out of the duplicator.
Moisture added to bring back a little color.

Plenty or work ahead
