Pics 1 & 2 are a slab 2 ?? thick about 27? by 30?. It?s a clock (no I didn?t make it) that was a gift from our son several years back. What kind of wood is it?

ImageShack.usIf you guessed Buckeye you?re right. I guess it?s the burl of the tree.
Pics 3 & 4 may be somewhat harder to id. Study them before looking at the answer.

ImageShack.usDid anyone guess Rosewood? This is the bud union of a wild rose I salvaged from a pile of brush in No. Virginia in the early 80s when I was stationed at the ?Puzzle Palace.? Hung it on a fence post for about a year and then cleaned it up, trimed it, sanded it, and finished it with several coats of varnish. We keep it on the hearth as a conservation piece.
Pic 5 is the third hardest wood there is (maybe some of you can tell us the first 2). Comes from the mountains of California and Mexico. The vase was a gift. The other piece is natural, I just finished it. Also on the hearth as a conservation piece I?m no turner. Have any of you turners put something like this on a lathe?

Quiz over. How did you do?
