Keep Your Eyes Open

     While I was out for my walk this morning, I spotted something laying by the side of the road.

Old cutting board

     I don't have enough experience to identify the wood, but it is very dense, and quite hard. It looked like someone smashed it over the top of a fire hydrant and it separated at the glue lines, making 3 pieces. I don't know what I'll do with it. Mast step maybe, or cut it into strips for a seat. But considering what wood costs these days, I will continue to keep my eyes open. 

     I washed them up in the sink and put them in the trunk of my car. I'll take it out to the shop this week, so it can dry out. I am sure Dad can tell me what kind of wood it is.
