| Cool!!!! If I didn't know any better, I would have guessed it was southern yellow pine. Grain is very similar. Tackle Junkie stopped by yesterday and brought a couple pieces of mahogany for me.  Can't wait to see what it looks like sanded and polished. I was going to save the wood for a box but I just may try to turn it instead.... Wish I could get my hands on some cheap Ipe.....

| BTW... I got that cypress from a guy in Arkansas. Most of the stuff he sent checked on me before even turning it. It was supposed to be dried but it wasn't. He then sent me more that he swore was dry but the moisture content was 20% and it cracked too. Too bad, the price was right....
