I need to identify some wood I got when I bought this place in the country. The former owner had a shed full of the stuff all differet shapes but approximately the same size and thickness.See photo. They are about 6 to 8 inches by 1 to 2 inches thick. I believe it is redwood as some had been out in the weather for years but it would not rot. Some is cut into thin pieces as if to use for scroll material. The other wood pieces in the shed were slabs of walnut and cedar and were obviously intended for slab clocks. This may have been intended for some kind of desk clock or bowl turning or pen blanks. I have some ideas but would like to know if this looks like something a woodworker would recognize. It has a real pretty grain and is light weight.
I am wanting to know what it was cut for, as I said there is a shed full of this stuff and I have no idea what it was even created for.
