    Can you help me ID this wood?

    I got a pile of this wood in a Killer deal a few years ago with a bunch of other exotic woods but i haven't been able to ID it.

    The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

    The penalty for inaccuracy is more work

    Kind of looks like a piece of Eurpoean Lacewood I used to have...but that's just a guess...

    There may be a few species that get called lacewood.

    Woods with pronounced medullary rays can be used to make some beautiful objects.
