Default Dogwood??

there is dogwood. It is supposed to be the tree that was used to make the
cross Jesus was hung on. I doubt it is commercially available as it is a
small tree and I can't see it being viable for harvesting although I suppose
there might be some specialty place that handles it. Just for the heck of
it I did a quick Google and got nothing but I didn't put a lot of effort
into it. Someone on one of the groups had posted about turning it once --
supposed to turn well.


Yeah, Google didn't do me much good, either..
Gerald posted a couple of pics today on ABPW of 2 dogwood bowls..

I hear about it in jokes here, but is there really a wood called dogwood?

I'm doing a charity show in April for the local animal shelter..
"Woofstock"..
They want a pet theme as much as possible, and I'm digging out the
zebrawood and
looking for canarywood, but if there really is dogwood, that would/wood be
pretty cool..

If it exists, is it turnable?
Where would I find it?

Any other suggestions of pet theme wood?

Thanks,
