Can someone ID this wood?

"The wood was cultivated about 150 years ago from a farm in southern Virginia"

Been asked to make a pen from a scrap chunk of it.

Has to be 'makusick' wood. :eek: The only way not to be infected is to send the wood to someone a mile above sea level so the poison molecules can not breathe and enter your body. :biggrin: :biggrin:
have no clue but can't wait to see the finished product.

Maybe your right! I better not touch it with a 10ft pole..

Thanks Mark!! :biggrin:
 
Mark; If you have to make a pen out of it, I would cut the least amount needed off the bottom of the piece. The rest of it should be framed or hung on the wall as art. You don't see this qualty of wood to many times in a lifetime!! Jim S

If its from VA and not stained I'd have to say Quilted Walnut as my only guess. Nothing else that color grows in VA to my knowledge, but I've never seen quilting like that in Walnut.

Otherwise my first thought before reading was Quilted (waterfall) Bubinga like the others.
 
If you'd like to send it to me, I'll even pay the freight, I will be able to give you an "Honest" opinion, honest.
Don't know about sending it back to you, it might get lost in transit.

Bob.
