None of the above. Hesh, I'm pretty sure this wood would float.
OK, a clue. I was just on vacation and came back with a tan and this board.

Good Morning, What better way to start off your Easter Sunday than with the ever popular name that wood contest. Attachment: phpIUkOelAM.jpg Attachment: php01dGDLAM.jpg The winner can have bragging rights to being pretty good at identifying wood. Good Luck! |

Could it be dogwood? (although looks pretty large for dogwood). |

Good guess Ken. It does look a bit like some poplar, but sorry. Incorrect. It's a little more exotic. |

If it won't shower on the boat but prefers to wash up on shore it may be Natalie Wood. |

Sorry. Vera has left the building. All right, another clue. Apparently it's the national tree of the country I got it from. |

You got it Chris! Mahoe is the national tree of Jamaica. We were driving out in the country and passed some piles of stickered lumber. Of course we stopped. Turned out to be a wood working operation. They were building furniture. It was a little different than what I was us to. Running on Jamaican time. There was about 6 of them working there and only one pencil.  They were good guys and happy to show me around. They had mostly bed frames and dressers. After they built them they would then carve on it. Lots of carvers in Jamaica.Thanks For Playing! |

I would suspect customs would stop you and fear insects coming in or something right ? |

It seems not very much of it leaves the country, and that which does is never quartered lol. Chris I saw one nicely quartered piece but it was only 1 x 3. ![[headinwall]](./images/smilies/headbangwalluf8.gif "Mad") It's pretty hard to do proper justice to a pile of wood when you have your family looking over your shoulder.

I would suspect customs would stop you and fear insects coming in or something right ? I was a little surprised John. I had no idea what to expect. The roll of packing tape I used wasn't good enough for the baggage dudes to hold my 3 - 3ft boards together so they sent me to the plastic wrapping guy. They work you over right to the end. It cost me as much for this guy to put about a mile of plastic film on as it did for the board. Coming into Canada I thought we were in the clear when we got through the first customs agent but got directed into the shake down area. There was 4 or 5 customs agents standing at the a table where they tear into you stuff and not another person around. I smiled at the biggest guy and made some comment about not liking the look of this. He asked me what I had, cut open the end with great difficulty. I did get my moneys worth in plastic wrap in Jamaica. Saw the end grain of the boards and sent me on my way. I asked him "what if I said it was Brazilian Rosewood". He shrugged and mumbled something but it but it didn't seem to mean anything to him. |
