Resawn board to be used as a veneer for a custom door. Phone camera/shitty shop lights didn't do full justice to how beautiful the board was. The blueish part is the part that sat in the mud. I'm guessing it's an older tree that's been underwater for a long while bc of how tight the grain is and the color it developed from absorbing the minerals in the silt.

If you ever get thousands of dollars use heavy stiff endangered KONA Wood for veneers on Sub-Z (Sub-Zero) freezers and refrigerator doors :

I swoon everytime I visit a millionaires home on Nantucket that has KONA Wood in kitchen/catering prep rooms.

Jeff Bezos had four identical KONA WOOD veneer Sub-Zero freezers at one east coast mansion, and all other millionaires copied him on the East Coast.

I love fancy wood, profiled 300' of ebony for someones wine racks, my company charged $35k for lumber/machining, the guy putting it together charged the customer $90k!!! Boss let me keep the 1 extra 10' board and the cut backs. Still trying to figure out on what to do with those.

Always save one unfinished , perfectly planed, 6 or 4 inch cube wood sample to add to your collection.

Then play "Guess the type of wood" with other friends, and have them drop their jaws at the astounding density and beauty of woods like Ebony and Kona and much heavier harder endangered woods.

Only the prettiest or heaviest are the most interesting to add to your collection of "GUESS THIS WOOD" :

You obviously need to mix in wood blocks from 10 famous american woods too.

No one would ever guess more than 10% of these 10 less famous iron-woods :

Why cubes?

So you can stack them in little stacks on a shelf.

Just dont invite the Feds to your house or garage.

Lol you must be a fellow wood worker. I work with some people that have been in the industry for a while but are still unable to distinguish hard from soft maple or red from white oak.
