Natural edge from Hurricane Sandy. 9" x 4-1/2".
3/8" thick. Wop finish. Not sure what type of wood. I thought it was elm but has a very slight sweet smell. Maybe locust? Any suggestions?
C & C welcome.

if bark is orange below the outer crust and heart wood is gold as it appears then could be sasafras(sp) i just turned 2 nat edge bowls of it and the smell is very faint - kind of a rootbeer smell.

My first thought was Black Locust. The course bark, color, and the look of the end grain. Hard for me to judge from pictures. Nice piece!

Nice. I'll go locust, too. I especially like the asymmetry, and the lift at the base. .
