Found a chunk of wood lurking in the corner of the shop and I don't remember what it is or how I came by. I played with it on the lathe and it turns very nicely. The wood is soft but it throws out these tiny little slivers that are very itchy. It's a reddish color...the only thing I did to this piece was wax it.
Comparing it to my wood id book, I think it may be mahogany. Any opinions?whatwood.JPG
