what kind of wood is this??????

Shoot an email to OregonBurls. Greg would know if anyone would. It looks like some king of burl but hard to say from the pic.

Fog wood I’d say.
Found
On
Ground.
Couldn’t think on an acronym for found on beach.

-- So much to do, so little time.

I am guessing Madrone.

-- Fine Custom Woodwork since 1978

I thinks Madrone Burl is a good guess.

I’ve some Wyche Elm that looks just like it
Mine was found locally in Scotland.
What does it smell like when cut?

I would go with madrone, as well, though it could be from a redwood burl. Again, smell of the wood would be the determining factor. Just curious, where on the Oregon coast? I get a lot of Myrtlewood on the coast.

Send it to me wood you…that’s looks grand would make a beautiful lid!

Is it radioactive….if so it’s “Nipponreactorwood”.

Im guessing tigerwood but most on here know better then I do.

-- The Box Whisperer

it’s from outer space!

How hard is it? How dense or heavy is it? Looks like some tanoak I once had, but madrone or myrtlewood are good guesses as well.

-- The only gift is a portion of thyself. -Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882)

madrone (arbutus) a good guess for the west coast

I believe it’s called Oregon Myrtlewood.

I had a friend who built all of the cabinets in his RV out of the stuff.

I thank you all for your input—AND humor——so far it does not glow in the dark—-indeed it seems to be some kind of burl and madrone seems to be the best guess—-the grain is very dense and smells—-well—-hmmm like ah—-O gosh—-ewwww——-the log—-was about 10 feet long and has been in the ocean a long time—-growth rings change directions—color changes without a reason or cause—-the ends were clearly not cut but rather torn——so far the wood is just beautiful—-sanded a block edge last night and will put more pictures on for all to see—-currently have no idea what to make of it—-
Thank you
Paul

-- The price of the project can be found in the smiles of those who receive it. Some things are priceless.

Have you considered that it might be Heart Cheese Wood?
