Mysterywood...maybe ironwood

[Phillip Kelley]

This was the hardest wood I have ever tried to turn...I dulled two carbide inserts during the process...i got frustrated & just quit trying to turn it & decided to put some finish on it...:rotfl:
It is about 4" x 8" and is whomperjawed with a hole in it...

I would say that it is more cattywumpus than whomperjawed.

It came from your STUDIO and that makes it ART..

Looks like fig wood, fog wood or fis wood depending on where you found it. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I found it at a little sawmill distributor on the side of the interstate in Hooks, TX

Then it's fasm wood.
fog wood = found on ground wood
fig wood = found in garage wood
fis wood = found in shop wood
fasm wood = found at saw mill wood :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I really have no idea what the wood is. Doesn't look like any iron wood I have. All mine is chocolate looking with maybe a little yellow looking sap wood.

Well, like "The Penguin" mentioned above it is really more catywompus!
Just a term my dear ol' mother uses when she is talking about something that is all all of kilter or crooked or warped....lol
