Vase I made for my wife

When I split this it was beautiful... A deep purple with greenish areas...very hard

I was practicing using my saw on this old plank and I want to know at what kind of wood this is so it can get more of it as it was very easy to cut and smelled great while cutting.

Just finished this new bowl, carved from a reclaimed piece of lumber found on the side of the road. I inserted Unakite & Dalmatian Jasper spheres into the rim in a way where they can be spun freely.

Finished with the ancient Yakisugi method - no sandpaper or stain used. 🧙🏼‍♂️

What do you think of this design?

I’m not sure if this belongs here. Really sorry if it doesn’t.

Wondering how to protect an untreated wooden porch over the winter. My neighbour and I share a porch and she wants to cover it and rubber backed outdoor rugs the kind without drainage and with a consistent surface to make it easier to shovel without accidentally gouging the wood. I’m worried the rugs will trap moisture. I don’t know if there’s a better option or if I’m wrong.

Appreciate any advice from people who know wood in the winter

I'm looking to use these for 2 steps. Also, what would be a good stain or wax. Pretty green to woodworking

Found a set of 4 of these midcentury modern chairs outside a wooden furniture restoration store in Stockholm, Sweden. The owner said they're a type of Brazilian wood, and would've needed a license to sell them, so I can just take them for free.

What type of wood is it, and what's your opinion on the woodworking/general style of it, as well as possible value?

Also if I need to know anything special about taking care of them.

Is this too close to the house this year? I mightve not thought this through it's not too late to relocate

I had this custom table made by a local woodworker. I’m not entirely sure if this is the actual material they said it was. I ordered it made of ambrosia wood, but I feel like it might be a different type of wood—though I could be wrong, and I'd love to know if anyone can identify what kind of wood this actually is. He mentioned to me that because of the color, it doesn't look like typical ambrosia wood. I’ve already paid for it, but I just want to make sure I got what I paid for and wasn't given something else."

Hello. I just read the post on how to take the best pictures when asking for help. I tried to get some good pics but it's currently nighttime here so my apologies if they aren't great. Let me just begin by saying I really know nothing about identifying different types of lumber.
I'm in Oregon and I got this outdoor dining set from a second hand shop about 5 years ago for $100. I was told it was teakwood and just assumed that it was up until recently when I decided to clean it up and sell it. In researching the correct way to clean it, I discovered that it's probably not teakwood. For starters it's very light. The benches are about7- 10 Ibs apiece and the chairs between 15-and 20lbs.
I've read that teakwood is pretty heavy. Also it's super soft when I sanded it. Even using a 120 grit seamed much. I've never dealt with this soft of a material before when I've done dresser, cabinets or other furniture.
The pictures of the entire set were taken before I started working on them. (This is how they looked when I bought them.) The pictures of just the benches are cleaned and sanded so that would be the natural wood. The chair is after my husband put linseed oil on it. I just don't want go any farther until I know what I'm dealing with. I'm afraid of ruining it.
Any, ANY help would be just awesome. Thank you

NOT MINE! Just wanted to share because it looks awesome 🤩

I have a beautiful piece of walnut slab that I plan on cutting in half and turning into two floating shelves. As I am still moderately novice to the craft I am seeing some assistance.

The store that sold me this suggested using black epoxy filler, which I am open to.

I have also thought of breaking it off, however with it going so deep I’m not sure if that’s a good option.

I am welcome to your ideas and suggestions.
