It almost looks like some old Pine or Fur glued together. But I know its not glued just the way the rigs of wood are oriented. By the way great form!

Looks like pine to me. Really nice shape (as usual for Steve).

Steve, Since you live in the UP and I am sure there are an abundance of Tamarack trees, and since the grain looks just like the ones I turn out of Tamarack that would be my best guess. Or like someone else said you found an old beam or post that was maybe Hemlock or fir by the coloration. But I still say Tamarack. The shape does make the grain pop out!

Looks like Douglas Fir to me. What ever it is I like the piece.

I'm guessing that it is about the size of a quarter...and it's some kind of pine.
Ok...I'm probably wrong. But it sure looks nice Steve!!

Nice form, I am guessing 5 1/2 to 6 inch diamater. Looks old growth to me, cedar or redwood. Probably a reclaimed piece of lumber.

It's pinforack. And it's two feet in diameter. It's also a sweet looking form.

I would guess pine but I know you wouldn't want to gum up the shag

Obviously bleached maple, and intricately airbrushed with, oh...5 graduated shades for the rings, masked several times to create the interesectig ring as a "faux crotch". Clearly coated with shellac for the amber background tint, a couple of coats of flat lacquer - sprayed of course - and rubbed down with 0000 steel wool. Nice job!
