I dont' know. It's nice, but...

Looks like spruce to me, or something else.:) I have one waiting in the wings though its not quite as shapely.

[David E Keller]

I wouldn't turn that one... It looks like it may smell pretty bad!

At least you would not get slapped for patting that one

Looks like Ash to me....:D

Maybe Tam-bootie.

Make sure you watch out for cracks with this one. Feed it wrong and it might "explode" on you. It looks like a pine, but I'm not sure you would want any of the sap in this one. Someone needs to moisturize.

Okay, I'm done.
