Hello all,

I'm hoping to make a lamp hybrid as a gift and I'm looking for a chunk of wood (I'm fine with whatever so long as it isn't tropical like cocobolo) that's probably around 12x5x5 that's could use some good casting.
 
Here are a few pieces that may work or not? All are air dried many years. Two pieces of Walnut and a larger piece of Koa. The Walnut pieces are $20 a piece and the Koa is $65 plus shipping. Two pieces will fit in a LFRB for $23 shipping.

Just so I'm correct, it would be 63 all told for the two walnut pieces, shipped? They are dry?

They are air dried many years. $63 shipped for both with room for some other wood peanuts.
 
I have Walnut, Cherry, Maple, Sassafras, Elm, and maybe some Sycamore in 5" x 5" x 12". All processed green and sealed with wax.
 
It was an old den tree on the farm my dad grew up on. No idea what species, it’s too far gone, but it was probably close to a hundred years old. No telling how many raccoons, owls, squirrels, and o’possums raised families in there. It finally fell victim to a saw when that little corner of hardwoods got harvested a few years ago. Somehow it didn’t splinter when it fell. The loggers just wanted it out of the way. I stumbled up on it while turkey hunting one day and thought it deserved a little longer life of sorts. I went back a week later and carried these two pieces home with me.
