I found this tea candle holder at a yard sale in the U.P.  and was wowed by the figure in the wood.  Does anyone have an idea what kind of wood it might be? Exotic maybe?   I thought it might be a good chunk of wood for someone to take and make something a bit more dramatic then what it is.

It's not cherry burl? Quite light colored for that though eh? The base (basal) figure I've seen in car dash and door panels. ::)

maple or sycamore is my best guesses. looks really cool. well worth the price.

Jeff

I put it in a sycamore bowl made for me several years ago by Electric Al's boys, threw in a candle and some of the stones I picked up over the last couple days and lit a match.  :)

I dont know what kind of wood that is, but it sure is cool looking. I think you found a perfectly fine way to use that wallet bending purchase.  :D :)

Since you found it in da UP, it must be that "Elusive Michigan Pudding Wood".    ;)

It's certainly pretty enough to be.  Nice find.   :)
