Awesome wood

[BULLWINKLE]

This isn't my table. The wood top alone runs at about $4,000. It's a most beautiful wood so I thought I'd share it with you. Would make a terrific pen.
Just to keep it interesting, I won't say what type it is, only that it's pretty rare. I'm also curious if anyone can correctly guess.

I would guess that it is cypress.

Ken. It's sinker cypress. From 100-200 years below the water in the Louisiana bayou. You know your wood !

Used to fish in Louisiana. I wonder how many logs I ran over with my boat. I could be a millionaire now.

That's true Woodchipper but…. Divers go underwater with gators to find them. Hook them up to some very heavy duty equipment to raise them. Not petrified but absorbed minerals give it it's color. Hard to cut and machine. And yes. You could be a millionaire and wouldn't need that many brought up to reach that goal. I'll bet there's a lot more down there going to waste. It's a shame.
