    I'd say it's drift wood. :-)

    If it's a small piece of beach driftwood it might be a "son of a beech" :-)

    Wood ID humor, good fun! Trying to sea the grain got me all tide up, now I'm feeling eel, stung, er, stunned by the rays.

    It might take more than a photo to ID wood that may have been floating in the ocean for some time. You might need to examine the end grain with a magnifier. It could have come from Australia or Africa or Atlantic City.
