Here is a shot of some Carob I got from @barry richardson

Carob also crossed my mind but I didn't have enough confidence to suggest it because I don't have any with sap so I had nothing to compare that to.

When did you start running short on confidence?

Listen buddy I have had it with the short jokes . . . . .

Color and graininess are ~ right for carob but the end grain just doesn't look right. Unless I can see a clearer shot of the mystery wood end grain I can't rule out carob completely but I'd bet against it.

Talk about short tempered! Somebody must have rubbed your end grain wrong!!

Hey I may be short but I have longer than average grain.

I'm the morning I will hopefully shoot some pics of the wood i got and will aprons and an end grain pic. I looked at it today and im confident it's the same stuff and was harvested in Florida.

 

[gman2431]

Autospell did wonders on that one!! You guys get the jist...

@Tony What does the face grain look like? That looks like it may be a match. I can't do any better until next Saturday. I'm camping at the beach for the next week.

Yep same stuff. Next time i go there I'll ask and you'll know for sure. Lol

Me making short jokes? Nah... That would be a pot and kettle kind of thing.

Does a kettle have stubbie legs?

Does a kettle have stubbie legs?

Does a stubbie even have legs?

Mine does not!

George, this is the best I can get right now, I'll get a better pic tomorrow in the daylight. Tony

Well, I'm still drawing a blank. I did find one end grain that's a good match, yellow sucupira / Sweetia fruticosa, but I doubt that's it. It has the graininess of the mystery wood but just doesn't look like the most recent face grain pic (directly above) at all.

Another possibility, also somewhat remote: angelim pedra / Hymenolobium spp.

@Mr. Peet I see you still haven't weighed in on this thread. You drawing a blank too?

 

[Tony]

Here's a better pic of face grain. Tony

 

[phinds]

Man, that looks like carob! I'm thinking that's what it has to be even though the end grain doesn't look quite right. I only have a single species as carob (Ceratonia siliqua), but maybe there's a closely related species that I'm not familiar with.

 

[gman2431]

Here's the end grain of the stuff I'm pretty sure is what George has.

 

[Blueglass]

That is some sweet looking end grain... art.
