I know others have seen this but in case you have not don't be surprised to find odd objects in your lump. This was found in Fogo. Never seen anything odd in Fogo until this. Had some prime strips last night and this was in the lump when I stirred her up this AM.

    It's the banding that holds the wood slabs together when they go in the kiln.  It usually comes out in one big long piece, but sometimes they break.

    Yeah figured as much. Just a FYI to those who have never seen foreign objects in lump. It happens and sure you can speak to it
