No idea on the wood, but that sure was a weird blank -- did they core it out of a log at an angle, then wax it? Regardless, it turned out just amazing. Couldn't design that sort of interplay on purpose, between the... bark? and the wood itself. Wow.
Is cork oak the same as the cork we make bottle plugs from? If so, this was much denser than that. It's relatively soft, but definitely a hard wood. Even the spalted sections were pretty dense.
Cool Piece. Whatever that wood is it looks ancient.
True that.
Really nice piece love the shape
thank you!
Getting a box of mystery wood has gotta be a rush!
Lots of fun!
Beautiful piece! I love the wood. As for the wood species, certainly there is an app for identifying wood species, right?
Not that I know of, especially when it’s got a lot of spalting in it like that one does. I know of several that can do it by bark or leaves
If I had to guess, I'd say spalted tamarind. Beautiful work👍🏻
Hm, could be. I've only worked with tamarind once before.

Yeah, it was very strangely shaped...almost had an "knife's edge" on the round blank
I want to say Laburnum, but it’s definitely interesting.
Hm, I looked it up and based on pictures online, I think that could be what it is
@@CASWoodcraft Nice! I do have my moments.
The look of the wood reminds of cork, but I have no idea what the cork oak wood looks like.

Привет! Может это граб(hornbeam) ?
Это интересная возможность. Трудно сказать по фотографиям, которые мне удалось найти в Интернете.
