Any cracks you may see in photos are true to the parasite wood itself
Parasite wood carvings come from a parasitic plant, a mushroom-like growth that imbeds itself
into the bark of a Chinaberry tree and gets its nourishment from the tree's sap.
These parasite growths are so hard and dense they won't decay so that when the tree is dead
and rots away it leaves the growths to be picked up and carved.
