Figured beach wood that doesn’t belong in a burn pile…SOLD

I'm trading with @SA-Motors on a piece of Sugi (pictured below), so perhaps we can compare to that. Though this is American grown Sugi if that makes any difference.

Did you click the Etsy link? It looks nearly identical to the piece I had. I did a bit of research on what ‘Sugi’ was and found it it was a species found here as well. I was really surprised to randomly run into a piece of wood online that looked so similar only to find out it as a wood that actually does commonly grow here. Learn something new everyday
 
These are planted around where I live. Some are dwarf and some are absolutely enormous. There are very attractive in landscaping and do very well in our climate here. Of course, the piece that @Byron Barker posted here is much more beautiful than what we have here.

Yeah i clicked the link. That's how i knew it was Sugi lol. I agree it looks very similar. The Sugi Steven has that I'm trading for is probably a bit too rough at this point, but one of us can clean it up. I suspect someone else has a sample of Sugi for comparison though.
 
Certainly does look the same. Didn't smell like cedar when I worked it though. To me it smelt more like christmas tree.

Yeah, it does not smell like cedar, but I think the reference points for what cedar smells like is going to depend on which cedars are available locally. For a western, they may be thinking of a different smell than someone from another area. The wood definitely has a unique and yet familiar smell to it.
