Frightening piece of wood post

Looks like a cat got stuck in a lumber milling machine.

Seeing critters in a piece of wood is a neat thing. I Occasionally see something interesting when sanding and planing wood. A piece of cherry I was using to make a Tiny Table had a streak that looked like a spinal x ray. I named it a Haunted table. A piece of Pink Dogwood I was carving today revealed a bug. The dining table I made for my wife out of old pine barnwood had pistol bullet imbedded in it that I found when planing the top boards.

Jurassic Park kind of thing! Lol. Imagine if you get a mosquito preserved on the wood with dino blood. Lol

I feel sorry for poor cat. I can see why it made you pause before running it through your tools. I’ve had a few boards like that too — they look innocent on the outside but you’re never sure what’s hiding inside until you cut into them. Sometimes it works out fine, and other times it’s full of twists or cracks that make the job twice as hard. That’s also why I keep a tile tracker stuck to my tool bag — I get distracted by problem pieces and end up leaving tools behind otherwise.
