My vote is with the majority - first glance looks like sculpture to me. Amazing that the clamp fractured it to the point of failure ??

looks to me like it ws overly dry and seperated at the rings
i have a pignut that did that just on the very back layer of wood
mine was just getting first brace when it let loose,took about 8 inches of wood from one limb
just the nicest thinest layer of wood too,it was even translucent
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd
