Just from the picture, I'd say it looks like a piece of antique pine that I have, But what the h*** do I know [] If you don't want that piece of wood, I could send you my address and a few bucks for postage [][]
I'm not sure... The only time I tried to turn it my tools were dull and I blew it out. I like the grain, though, maybe cut on an angle, so I may have to try it again this weekend. You have got my curiousity peeked.
Maybe somebody else know for sure what wood it is, but I like it.
It looks like douglas fir, How does it smell while turning. I got a small amount of this wood from a 100 year old paddle boat. Was a deck post. All but one pen will go back to the museum.
