I’ve posted 3 others Norway maples, all from the same tree trunk. This one is the deepest at 4 1/2” x 15”. It has considerable patching using ground up bark, and same chunks of bark. One hole, a fair size knot and numerous cracks were filled with the bark. I don’t drink coffee and found bark a better choice anyway. Black is from iron oxide.
