Ruth,
Iron wood, and usually only the heart of the tree, but it is not too typical
in Vermont.  There are many species, but that is the only one I know of in
New England.
Best,
Leland

So, what is the common name for this tree?  I have never heard of them,
maybe they don't grow in Vermont.  Thanks,  Ruth

cp,

Do you mind if I cross post your e-mail on water mills to the hurdy-gurdy
list? I'm not sure they will pay attention, but it is one turnign musical
instrument to another and they have been rattling on for more than a week
now about bearing woods and authenticity of heritage sound.

PS. Their consensus seems to be lignum vitae. I have been a bit too busy to
pay close attention to their detailed wanderings.
