2" x 2 1/8" x 12 1/2" Texans prefer to call this wood by the original French name of bois d'arc but of course being Texan, they misspell it as bodark (hey, they're TEXANS --- they're into shooting guns, not spelling and if you try to get them to spell it as bois d'arc, they'll likely just shoot their guns at French people 
).
This is a very tough wood and has a fabulously distinct grain pattern. The bad news is that after some years exposed to even indirect sunlight the brilliant yellow color changes to a rich brown with hardly a hint of yellow and a more subdued grain pattern.
This piece had a heavy patina on all 4 sides so I totally sanded one side and lightly sanded another side.
