Round 9: I believe this is 5 Leaf Pine root, but I could be completely wrong on that. It certainly seems to be some species of pine based on the smell and the little bit of bark that remained on the wood. I’ve been wanting to dig into this stuff for a long time. Seemed like it had some secrets hidden beneath the bland weathered exterior. Didn’t disappoint. You can smell it on the beach before you see it if the weather is hot. Smells like root beer and pine bark. This piece has a lot of defects (as basically every piece I’ve found does), but the density, coloration and figure is quite beautiful. Not your typical pine for sure. Has streaks of purple and pink in it as well as some heavy resin toward the bottom of the piece. Sealed with polyurethane in the pics. 50x10x6cm. Asking 25$ plus shipping.

Actually, I’m just kidding. I didn’t set an alarm, I just happen to be awake and online.
