I don't know what wood it is but thought I'd try one anyway. What are they called anyway? It is shown with the first pen I ever turned, curly maple slimline.
I know that its not Oak, it had "Ama" on it...IIRC. It is horrible for turning, it just chipped away and flew everywhere. Glad I just have the little chunk of it.
Lets see... a name, pen cushion LOL, pen stander-upper, pen vase, well maybe not.
I think the Humajobby looks great (that crack's me up[][][]) Nice Job on it... I agree with other's I think it's either a Pen Funnel (with a small hole all the way through) or a Desk Set.
