This next pic is a close up of the mystery wood box. I was prowling around the local army surplus store and they had a few old wooden tent posts. One was broke and the wood looked like some kind of exotic type stuff. So I bought one, octagonal 2.75" x 8', for 50 cents. I think it might be bubinga. If it's WWII surplus then it's 60+ years old and turning it was like turning concrete. But it is kind of pretty wood. Any other guesses what it might be?

Curt - beautiful work once again! Great forms and finishes on all of them! No idea on the mystery wood but it sure looks like it would hold fine details!

It is hard to tell once itis finished, but it sure looks like black gum. This wood was used as a cheap utility wood for a lot of years. :)

Superb box work, Curt!
I think my favorite is the Maple piece on the left.

I have no clue as to what the mystery wood is.

Beautiful Curt,
I can't help on the wood identification either but if they have more of it I think I would get back for the rest if it were me.
