The Spectacular wood is ziricote (the black and white) and the other plank is Palo Escrito (Mexican Rosewood) and it is a timber with very nice , Loud Timbre.
Google says that the Ziricote is an evergreen native to Florida, but I don't think I have ever seen it growing.

Thanks Paips, Se above for wood. Yes that is a hatted Moai I roughed out Eons ago and pushed aside at the time and I have just pulled it out. I also roughtd out another Black Walnut Moai seen somewhere in these pix. Thanks and yes I'll be lookin out for me.

Creative clutter, now Theres a subject to scrutinize. I don't have much of a routine for cleaning, just when I can't find stuff I put away what I have room for and I clean a bit here and there. I didn't used to be this way. I Used to keep everything neat and orderly but then I could Never find anything so who nose. Once I get my garage back I'll be better.
Thanks for all the kind words.
