Guess what kind of wood this is!

What are these things that cost $800?
Looks pretty rough. At 1" thick, there is pretty much nothing that can be used to make a pool cue.
Turn it round and make some 5/8ths joint collars. Point stock. Expensive pen blanks.

That is some expensive wood. Is it going to be sanded down or have a finish put on it?
Is it swamp cypress?

Cool, I like the old rugged look. Can you get pics after it's inlaid in the desk? It's not swamp wood?
Interesting.
Looks good, congratulations. That is a lot of labor but you definitely created some good looking art from trees that aren't endangered.
Did you cut it on a band saw? What kind of glue did you use? I assume the surface is coated in resin.

Morning wood?
Just wanted to clarify: the company I work for is doing the stone table this piece of wood is being inlaid into, we don't do any woodwork. I had very little involvement in this particular job and nothing to do with fabricating it. Just thought the wood looked cool and then was amazed when I was told what it is.
