Saturday is almost finished so I better intervene. This is a Hubbard Basin piece I'm using for a doorstop. I also shared it in another thread so hope I'm not being too redundant.
I have now seen it all!!! Hubbard BAsin wood used as a doorstop! Nice
This what I believe to be a nice piece of Sycamore. Found it when we were in central Oregon a few weeks ago. I will make a cut off the left end and polish. May have to bleach it. This material is pretty dark.
