A lumber yard owner gave me a piece of 3″ diameter by 20 inch long dowel for free, because he did not know what kind of wood it is. Me neither, but one thing I am sure about this wood is it is super dense, super hard, super heavy.
I made several pieces of small trades with this free lumber, it turns out to be super beautiful. It is some kind of rose wood, so the best finish method is bee’s wax.
the following shows three projects I made: a cigar stand, you can put your cigar on it so you don’t need to hold your cigar all the time; a key chain pendant, it is the symbol of the horde from game WOW; The last thing is a mallet, just a normal mallet, only used for carvings.
