What kind of wood is this?

I got this out a guy's scrap box and have no idea what it is. When being cut, it smells like tobacco leaves. Anyone recognize it?

Okay - not sure what the problem is here. I previewed the post and the photo was there, but now that it's posted I can't see it. Only the link itself. And I don't see how to edit the post or remove it to start over - ??

Just checked the FAQ for instructions on how to upload a photo - yeah, that's how I did it. And the file size is about 50kB. So I don't get why it doesn't show, at least not on my computer. I'm using Mac/Safari, if that makes a difference.

Dave, maybe Ellis will see this or you might send an email. The form of the local link looks right. I have occasionally had an image refuse to show but it didn't show the link as yours does, just an "empty image" icon.

Did you try again in case it was a glitch? (You should be able to delete a post if you have entered a password at the bottom of the Reply screen. You can edit a post also but only for a short time.)

If it still doesn't work and someone else doesn't have a solution I would be happy to try posting it from here if you send it by email.

As John mentioned, this sounds like a hiccup when you hit the "Post" button.

The string /webbbs/media/temp/ shows that the image was in a temporary folder while the post was being edited. This is common in a lot of forum software. This allows us to Preview a post prior to sending.

The hiccup is that when you hit "Post" the software either did not create a file name/ID in the permanent folder, or if it did, the ID was not updated in your post.

You will need to retry adding the image in a new post. Sorry, these things can happen in any forum.
