Dear Lou,
I've checked, unfortunately, I don't have any pictures, but would you be happy for me to post your query to the Wood-Charcoal weblist? There's a good chance that someone on there will have images...and also might have ideas to corroborate or discount my theory.
All the best,
Dana

Dears,
Thank you a lot.
Dana Challinor, maybe have you a photography of the fragment of burr wood
carbonized ?
All the best,
Godefroy Lou
