I found this piece of burl in my scrap pile, finish is CA but the photo does not really capture depth or shine proper.

Can anyone identify this wood for me. Thanks!

Looks like it could be oliepod burl or morrell burl, you better send the rest of your scrap pile to me so I can find any similar ones and confirm it [][]. Really nice piece of wood and great looking pen.

It is clearly "Burlus mysteriosus".[][][]

If it is fairly light, I would estimate Redwood burl

Mark,
That's a fantastic finish on a really pretty piece of wood. Wow! very nice. []

Really top notch work.

 

[Ozzy]

Since I can't imagine it looking any better in person, you should send it to me right away.[]
Seriously though, great looking pen, finish, and picture.

I have some Maple Burl that looks like that so my vote is "Maple Burl"

 

[PenPauli]

Maybe York gum wood?

 

[johncrane]

What ever it is it looks fantastic Mark! you done a top job on it my guess is york gum burl.[][]

Mark, these scoundrels are trying to take advantage of an innocent Scot! Stay away from them, and send it to an Irish person for evaluation!!

My address to follow by PM. [][][]

Beautiful work, definitely a single malt kind of pen! []

You are right, the picture does not show the finish well enough. Vased on the poor image it looks like dull, plain pine to me, some kind of fir, Douglas perhaps from a Christmas tree.
I got the photo taking tunned up a bit I'll take good pictures for you and keep the pen for further examination. You can find another scrap piece anyway.[][][]
Congrats,
Alex

 

[huntersilver]

Nice looking pen, Brown Mallee Burl?

 

[Penmonkey]

Ohhh nice pen!

 

[Jim15]

That is a really beautiful pen.

 

[UKpenmaker]

Excellent Work Mark, that finish looks 1st class, Don't send it over to our friends over the pond it might get damaged.
Just send it down the road to me and i will let them know what it really looks like.[][}]

 

[alamocdc]

Dang, Mark, I'd like to find "scrap" like that. Beautiful!!![^]

 

[skiprat]

I know where you live and I'm coming to raid your scrap bin. Good to see you posting your top stuff again. Excellent workmanship Mark.[]

As for the wood, I think it is stabilized haggis[}]

 

[MikeD]

Beautiful work. I'd like to see the stuff in your good pile.
For all I know, that could be Milton Burl.
