Orbital Vehicle
Especially the larger image (click) puts me to mind of some strange space probe in the orbital spheres of another world. The color appears just the way it was, without any changes. The wood, Dennis, I think is most certainly elm, and changes from gray to this bright orange when it gets wet.

Did you get my email about Sam Hancock's identification. As an old lumberman, I respect his opinion. He definitely feels that the wood is elm! He describes the 'old wet leather' smell that you get when you handle the shavings! Please save some for me to turn! See you Sunday.

That is the second one I have seen today. This must be the day to put photos of centipedes on blogs!

The birds are just devouring these in our Radford yard. My four year old is "collecting" them.
