For all you other woodworkers out there!

Whole forests of good wood used to practically grow on trees in this country (& others).
But as time goes on, good wood becomes more scarce, hence pricey.
(This is the part of the post where I graciously refrain from mentioning the highly sought 'Morning Wood' around my fellow, primarily male, readers).
Seriously though; I've seen a few instances of people finding 'treasure troves' of rare lumber. If you doubt the value of some of these varieties, drop by 'Woodcraft, OKC' at 9301 N. May.
...Them guys are extremely 'proud' of their wood...and their tools!
But they also might be able to I D a sample of what you have.
....which reminds me: I have a large Mid Century 'headboard' (for a bed)- that contains around 10 Bd. Ft. of vintage teak. It's all complete, save for the sliding panels on the compartments. Or; it'd make great shelving. or even 100's of sets of pistol grips/knife scales. If interested, let's work something out.

I'm looking for a great outdoor wood to rebuild my two wrought iron benches.

One looks like this,

and the other like this,

My 1st guess was fir, possibly some pine.
Definitely NOT wormy morning wood, or any morning wood. IF you think it is or might be wormy morning wood, best to get it checked immediately.

Especially if it last longer than 8 hours
