Straight with Curves

Another yulem object of Florida yellow pine. We call this type of wood "lighter knot" because it is so saturated with pine resin that it easily ignites and burns with a thick, black smoke. The center wood is straight grained vertically but the portion behind it runs circularly. It was found in our cow pasture. (4 1/2"x 4 1/2x 2 1/4", base is solid oak, satin surface protectant applied)
