It doesn't matter. You know you want it! First thing on my mind was ooh Alan will make that a hollow form.What’s the size?
I wet it for the pic.Doesn’t look like ash to me either. It looks waaaay to reddish brown.
5½"x5"x3"What’s the size?
First I saw this thread. Colors are closer to cherry, however, looks like I see big growth rings. That would lean toward elm (thinking Siberian) or even a locust. As Paul said, show us an end-grain please.@Mr. Peet gamble oak perhaps?
