    LOL Glad my funny didn't offend. I do appreciate your guess though! I bet you have seen some weird woods. And since I have your ear... your instruments are incredibly beautiful.

    Can we get a picture of the end grain?
    I have a fever, and the only prescription is more COWBELL!

    It's got some features of some of the "Poplar" I've seen.

    I would honestly guess pecan. It has a grain and color pattern very similar to hickory at times, but with less of a reddish tint to it. It's so hard to tell a wood type by photograph. I work with hundreds of types of wood and still come across species that I have never heard of. I had a piece that I made into a fountain pen that looked like spalted cocobolo, though I have never heard of such a thing, with the spalting looking like gold streaks. Good luck, it's a beautiful piece of wood!

    Well not sure if I want to tackle this hardwood on my old (on its last leg) A model. I hope to order my new C model in under two months, but this piece of wood is just begging to be carved.

    Default Interesting wood

    Bert, I'm going on the assumption your source slab cut that tree somewhere in your area so that seems to eliminate some of the woods I'd have guessed. My first guess would be a Poplar tree that grew near water or at least fairly moist soil to account for the coloration difference between heart wood and sap wood. Regardless of the final identification it is a beautiful board. Do let us see what you create some day Sir.
