Can you guess?

Hi group. just for fun. can you guess what kind of wood this is. I bet you will be surprised.

[Sawdust King]

I guess beautiful, turned, sanded, finished. As to species, not a clue. That guess would be spalted X. The only spalted I know is maple but I doubt it is that.

[BobD (Archive)]

I've got some spalted poplar that looks similar to that...

No sawdust... No Bob .... heehee. keep guessing your friend Evie

[lucky788scroller]

umm, just a stab at it.................... Mexican Bocote?

[Little flower]

I'll have two guesses. It's either Walnut or Tasmanian Blackwood. My hubby has just made a hollow form out of walnut which looks just like your wood. Tas blackwood has very definitive colours like that too, and it finishes absolutely beautiful.

Ironwood is my guess. i just saw some of that stuff but can't quite be positive on what the guy tols me it was. Remember it being really heavy.

[CanadianScroller]

Well I am going out on a limb
I think it is SUMAC

[Brett74]

my guess..

I will take a guess at it being Black Heart Sassafras

Pictuers of answer

Hi gang. thank you for playing. the reason I posted this , is because, it bluw me away, that we could get any useabale wood out of this bush. I have lived in the mojove deseart for 50 years. and we have these bush's every where. as alot of desearts do. we call them grease wood bush's. they fall apart pretty easy. when you wont them too. but I would have never guessed my self that they was so pretty inside. it brock my heart to have to cut one out of my yard. when ever I have to cut trees or bushs out I ask my hubby to make these petastales out of them for me, for my tamari balls. any way thanks for playing.this is what they look like. the wood that you have mentioned, sounds pretty too. now I would like to see some of that if you have any pictuer. Teresa I never heard of Tasmanian Blackwood. that really sounds nice. your friend Evie.

Would you believe Evie I can't find a thing in the place at the moment made of Tasmanian Blackwood. Guess he's sold it all. Will have to photograph his hollow form but seeing as he's done it for our club competition shouldn't put it on here just yet.

Evie,

Too late to play but looks alot like Goncolia Alves (spelling?) from south America.
