Alright, alright... enough already Schlumpf. (I can't believe I've learned how to spell that.) Spill it. The tension is killing me. BTW, is there a prize for the closest guess?

David .... I figure there are probably a couple of folks out there that would like to take a guess and it seems only fair that I give them that opportunity.
Not that it matters - but so far only one person has come close - real close - but no clear winner!
As far as a prize - I guess satisfaction in a job well done - or something along those lines!
The only other hint I can offer is that the wood has been darkened slightly because it was soaked in Watco 'Natural' Danish Oil. Does that help at all?
Oh - and the wood that I turned is not local to my area. Wish it was....

I still think it looks like Fir, but you you tell me, I'm not certain of it ;-))
Have fun and take care

I think Larch.

I want to take a couple of photos of the wood this HF came from, also get the dimensions and will post the answer tomorrow morning - no later than 11 a.m.
Thanks for everyone's input! Hope you enjoyed the guessing game!

I'm guessing its from a heart pine beam of some sort. Just a guess.

It could also be Cypress. Maybe?

Hmmm, Looks like Douglas Fir or Oregon as its called down under and probably grown in a reasonably warm climate due to the distance between growth rings.
Some thing along the lines of the pic. No its not my work but from a Japanese turner whose name escapes me at the moment

Pine tree, Larix perhaps, and iron brush ? air sanded ?
No...it's to simple.
But simple and very nice.

Steve,
Since you extended the guessing another day, I'm guessing Kentucky Coffee Tree.
