since the tonewood you sell is too pretty to really be just wood it doesn't surpise me that you're fooling us with something that isn't tonewood!

I cheated too, and technically Brock is correct (provided the file is named correctly).

Box elder is a maple (Acer negundo); all maples are in the genus Acer. Brock said maple, so if it's box elder, then he's correct...

The leaf on box elder is compound and looks more like an ash at first. Red, sugar, silver, bigleaf, etc. all have pretty typical maple leaf shapes. Not box elder though...

Neat stuff, Bob, whatever it is!

Thanks Bob I really didn't know that boxwood was an Acer. Sorry Brock you were right. It's boxwood elder and it does belong to Steve Kinnaird. He's going to make a beautiful Rosette with it.Bobc38452.1940625
