Her you go Benzart! This is a piece I did for a progeria foundation that Sam Foose and his wife are a part of. It had a head light bezel from a 1950 ford custom in its eye and a melted piston from a friends blown up dragster. You know me not traditional but I know you will enjoy it!

Okay, I'm just getting going so I'm starting small by making bottle stoppers for a few cool bottles I found. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic but when they're finished I use something better.
Thanks.

Funny you should ask, "scrap wood" is what I know for sure as I pulled them out of the scrap box in the model shop here at work. But they were all different to carve that's for sure.
The one on the far left was really hard and smooth to work with and my blades liked to slip off at inopportune moments. Maple maybe? I don't think it was Oak, there was never the 'Oak stink' when I worked with it.
The one in the middle is Basswood and had varying hard spots and 'chewy' spots through it, but was easy to carve.
The Moai on the right is Red Wood. It was fairly easy too.
