I started building an archtop tenor guitar, the back plate is apple wood, as I was getting deeper into what looked like a clean piece of wood, I started to notice a knot appearing!
The wood was given to me as a trunk section around 6 years ago, I managed to split it in half with wedges, it was not a very clean break but had nice colour.
So I persevered with the shaping only to now expose a piece of lead!
I can only imagine this is a .22 bullet that must of been fired many years ago and had completely healed over.
