Can you identify?

[oops99]

I got this piece of wood from a friend who found it in his garage, he has no clue as to what it is, neither do I, but I'll bet I can get some nice looking pens out of it.
Does anyone have a clue what kind of wood it is?​

Thanks,
Tom/oops99​

It's FIG wood - found in garage.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
Sorry, don't know what it really is.

Is that similar to F.O.G. wood. found on ground

Best guess is poplar with mineral streaks.

FOG wood is my favorite and seems to be common in my workshop.

I agree with poplar. Those streaks would have been green when fresh, but they turn brown with age and ultraviolet exposure.

If it's a denser wood, it could be hickory, if softer, then poplar. Tom Hale
