Wow, that looks a lot like solid Cholla. Unfortunately, Cholla isn't solid. .......... Nubs

Makes me wonder about the relation between the two.
What if cholla's holes were the equivalent of medullary rays? :D

Cholla holes are where the thorns grow. I believe they are called vesticles?. If that's not the real term, I need to be corrected, but that is where the thorns form and grow up to be a nuisance.
The wood you show is solid where Cholla is not. I do not see where these two could be related. ............ Nubs

If not emotionally attached to it, I would think I would have a go at it on a lathe
