[thought the wood frosy might be ironwood since you did not seem to recall the wood type. Ironwood usually smells pretty rank when you grind it, may be some kind of cocobolo or rosewood if it didn't smell too bad.

OK I didn't know which one you were talkin' 'bout ! ....while working it I noticed it was a "hard" wood , and seemed to ooze oil when I cut it on the bandsaw ( I thought that was odd ) ... but didn't smell bad at all

Ah, sounds like some form of rosewood, they are very oily and don't smell like ironwood does

Ron that wood is most likely cocobolo or rosewood if it had a waxy feel.
Rosewood top pic / Cocobolo bottom. They look very different in the pictures but sometimes they can be the same shade or real close.
MM is right,desert ironwood can have a strange odor where these two woods have a pleasant smell.

Mr. Viking , I believe it was Rosewood by the photos you posted .....That's what it looked like before I started workin' the wood .Thanks for clearin' that up , Ive always been bad at identifying different kinds of wood !
