| 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.

| 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.

| 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. |
