Any woodworkers?

Did you notice the spalted pieces? Back, left. Some interesting wood...

 

Yep will be cool looking whatever it is

 

Cedar, walnut and spalted maple.

 

Making bowls with them?

 

Yeah

 

I have a “what kind of wood” post. I found this my woodpile. I thought it was walnut. Now I don’t think it is after cleaning up one face. Mahogany maybe, but the edge makes me think other wise.

 

Mohagany is more red. Looks like white oak to me. Does it have a sweeter vanilla smell?

 

Kind of looks like hickory I’ve been messing with recently.

 

Not white oak. It has a strange grain pattern. Don’t know if the picture shows it. It is very smooth too, haven’t even sanded it yet.

 

Bottom pic looks like lacewood.

 

White Elm maybe?

 

That’s what I thought but it’s not nearly as dark as the lacewood I’ve used.

 

@98tacoma27
I googled pictures of sycamore, pretty sure that’s what it is.

 

@wilcam47 new project for you

kinda cool, ive made a couple utensils.

 

Not quite done but close.

 

Wetting down the hull for final sanding, gives an idea what the final colors will be

 

What finish will you be using? Looking good!

 

The hull will get fiberglassed/epoxy inside and out, once I get all the trim pieces on it will just get a good number of layers of marine varnish until I’m satisfied/sick of varnishing. It’ll all stay natural wood colored. The front and end leading stems are mahogany, probably stick with ash for seats and gunwales. Might get fancy with purple heart for the two decks on each end, but it’ll really depend on what’s in the scrap bin at the wood supplier that’s 16” long and 1.5” thick.
