   If 'tis, 'tis a big un!  (Actually had to get back into my chair to respond to that ;>)

   Kinda looks like mertle wood to me.   Verne

   I seem to remember a picture of a whale oosik that was being used for a bar stool.

   It does look like myrtle though.

   Most of the ones we see in the shops are walrus and much smaller. 

   Thanks for reminding me of the correct spelling of myrtle -- spelling isn't my strong suit, especially after a long Monday.  Verne

   That is tree-wood but the tree-hugger has taken off the bark as he obviously doesn't like it rough.
