Mystery Wood
Last weekend my son and I went to my parents house to gather up the last
of the fire wood that we were keeping in their back yard. This was wood that the tree trimmers took out of their front yard trees. The wood has been setting out in the elements for about 2 1/2 years. Upon getting it home to our house a few pieces were too large for the fireplace so my son and I cut to length and split some of the 8" diameter pieces on the band saw. Attached are a couple of pictures of what we found after splitting a piece on the band saw. I ended up with about 30 pieces of veneer from 3 different small logs that are about 1/8" thick, 4 to 8 inches wide, and 20 to 24 inches long. Apparently the wood has a magical power that accentuates a persons ability to "whip ass while playing Canasta", if the piece is pointed in the correct direction while laying in front of you at the card table. ;~) My wife wants a new jewelry chest and this may look good on the door panels and drawer fronts. Can you name the wood? |

Be thankful that she is just asking for the chest and not to have you fill it with jewelery. The wood is obviously spalted. And it looks fabulous. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it is all finished. |

Can you name the wood? Looks just like the spalted Pecan from which I recently constructed a rocking chair. I presume your parents live in Texas too? That would increase the odds of my guess being correct. -- See Nad. See Nad go. Go Nad! To reply, eat the taco. |

And the answer is.......
It is from a Live Oak tree. If you look at the lower sections of the pictures you may recognize the typical Oak grain. These pieces came out quarter sawn. "Leon" wrote in message . net...
