Boy, I need to go shopping with you!!

Excellent find. I love turning fruit woods, they smell and look great. Be sure to seal them fast. I know apple checks quickly and badly. I'm betting the others will too.

Great find.

Kinda looks like Black Cherry to me.

This is a case it is helpful for people to have their location at the top of their posts. Could help make more educated guesses
