Actually, it grows from about San Francisco up into British Columbia. Still the same tree. It is one that the higher grit you sand to, the more it glows. It does have an interlocking grain, and smells terrible if you burn it.I absolutely did not know that. I’m surprised. Thanks.
From Cook Woods: Also known as Bay Laurel, California Olive, Pepper wood, or Spice tree, this versatile hardwood grows only in Oregon and Northernmost California.
A block of wood does not get any prettier than that.This Birdseye Maple bowl has some outstanding intense eyes......turns nicely.

Gorgeous. Nice ogee!Spalted sugarberry (surprise!), about 5" x 2.5". Finished with Myland's. This piece has a lot more contrast in the wood colors than others I have turned.
