OK, I usually try not to post these, but..
Yesterday, I was doing a pen turning demo at my local Artist's Guild as part of a statewide Open Studios event. I had a blast. At the end of the day, a fellow from the local community I didn't know stopped by and told me he was a bowl turner and that he had an interesting piece of wood he couldn't use. He went home and brought it to me just as I was cleaning up. What a great community turners are!
Anyways, he said he rescued it from his firewood pile. This is northwestern Vermont, he was thinking maybe red elm? It's a very heavy dense piece. Very dry, no odor. Couldn't find a similar picture in any of the wood databases.
