[swampgobbler]

with all the talk about tube calls around here, I couldn't help myself.

Fine tubes. What are they made from?

[swampgobbler]

top is bocote, the bottom one is a mystery wood.  it came from a neighbor's pallet, and i currently don't have a positive id.  it looks like black palm to me, just without the really large tubulars.  whatever it is, it's a nice FREE piece of wood (the best kind)

looks good!

I was curious about the bottom one. It does look like it has the characteristics of palm but I seriously doubt someone would make a pallet out of it. More than likely it is some type of oak I would imagine.

[swampgobbler]

there was a discussion on what it was with no clear cut winner.  some thought it was oak, some thought it was the outer edge of black palm.  me personally, i have absolutely no idea.  but it turns pretty easily and takes a finish well.  i hope he has some more of the stuff
