What is this wood?

[Alan Mikkelsen]

I've looked in my Wood Book, can't find this. Came from the West Coast, supposedly. I finished it for a base for a taxidermy mount.

Madrone maybe ??

[Jim Becker]

Looks like big-leaf maple burl to me...

[Aaron Hamilton]

Yeah...looks like the burl version of birds-eye maple - I'm with Jim on this one.

[Ben Grunow]

Looks like the little pile of concrete left over after the driver cleans out the truck. To me anyway.

Since were hijacking the post I thought it looked like a well sanded turtle that went through a drum sander.:D

No wonder I heard so much sqealing from the drum sander!!;)

Thanks for all your replys. I guessed madrone initially, but when I looked it up, didn't look like the plates in my Wood Book. I'm kinda leaning to the maple burl myself. (Or a well sanded turtle.......):D

How 'bout Carp Elm?

Looks too light for Madrone, to me.

[Eric Gustafson]

Looks like a slice of a palm tree, to me.

[Cliff Rohrabacher]

It looks almost exactly like one of the burls off my elms
