Got some of this:

I see a lot of this around, but usually in 1-2 inch diameter "weed trees". Usually mixed in with the pine and scrub oak in this sandy area of South Carolina. These pieces are 6-8 inches in diameter.
This wood has an orange-ish coloring, and is rock hard. Chips out very easily. This has been down a while and has lots of cracks. I took a small piece and made a toothpick holder. Reminds me of the bird's eye maple I used for a pen, but not white.
