"Junk Wood"

My new Niece-in-law works for a New Holland tractor outfit. They get lots of equipment in on huge pallets. She asked it I would like the wood for fire wood. Of coarse, so they brought me some. Some is oak and some is this "Idon'tknowwhat" wood. I couldn't resist. I cut a chunk off of the piece the bowl is sitting on and turned it. It is pretty plain wood but not bad. I finished it with Wadco dark walnut and spray lacquer.

That's pretty wood and a nice potpourri dish. No wonder new tractors cost so much... They're shipping them with premium timber pallets.
 
That's really nice wood, maybe I should look into wood from pallets. With the cost of wood being what it is, that made a bowl for free wood.:thumb:
 
I'll take a stab at Philippine Mahogany...no spell check :(. I get a lot from a friend at a glass shop. When countries (Japan, Russia) send palletized stuff over, the pallets and crates are white oak and Cheap-o Mahagony. Stuff grows like weeds there.
That's a nice lookin' pot to Paul!!!
