Can anyone take a stab at this one? Found this little burl sitting next to an ash tree while mushrooming..no trees real close by...was thinking walnut, but didn't smell like any walnut I've ever cut into. It's close to walnut color but a little redder than I'd expect. The smell was a little sweet and nutty. Can't wait to see how the blank turns out...Thanks for any and all info! George

it's Purdy wood! But it could be walnut, too, similar grain.

Better question is did you find any mushrooms and what kind?

Just a WAG..... Redbud

We found 140 morels...mostly yellows and a few greys..we were hoping for 1000 or so like the last couple years but had a fun trip anyway

I remember going mushrooming with my dad and brothers in Indiana and Illinois. And the morels are great coated with flour and fried. Living in the Dallas area of Texas I don't get to do that now. Hope you enjoy your find!

I can't be the only one thinking something else when I saw the out mushrooming thing. Glad to hear they were delicious.
