What this piece of wood is.



It has some beautiful grain in it.

It's just a pity that a lot of people dont know just how beautiful this wood can be.

No it's not Mulberry.

Speaking of which I have my eye on a Mulberry tree that has some good thick dead branches in it, just have to wait for my neighbor to cut them out and they are mine
