both side of an oregon crab apple sample plank --- I believed the light areas to be wormholes but had stated that they could could be just rot; correspondant Mark Freeland tells me they are definitely wormholes and he has experienced many similar looking pieces.

wild crab apple (Pyrus Coronaria, which is just a syn. for Malus coronaria) from The Wood Book --- both levels of enlargement are available for each of the 3 views. This wood is also listed as wild crab and sweet-scented crab; why these are not "crab apple" instead of just "crab" I do not know but apparently that IS another common name for this wood.

table --- this looks to be a very nice slab of apple, but at $750 I think this was overpriced.
