Dogwood root. We had to deal with a small dogwood that had been killed by carpenter ants. We didn't have a chainsaw on hand so we just pushed it down. I took a small folding saw and kept some choice bits. I made the centerband from more of the Bobalu scraps. You would not BELIEVE how hard it pops in sunlight. I put down a few coats of medium CA and then ran it all back off with the coarse MicroMesh and then did more coats of Medium. Worked really well at getting the open grain filled in. I didn't sand anything on it because I didn't want to pack the grain with sawdust.
