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?
