It is Laminated Veneer Lumber, commonly known as LVL's. It is used for high strength headers, beams, and joists in (mostly) residential construction. Now a cool idea would be to make, say, a picture frame from endgrain slices of scrap. Wouldn't that be cool!

I bet that it would make an interesting turned form as well.

Patriarch, thinking maybe a 36 grit gouge would be in order...

You think that's a weird material? Try "Fluff"

or "extruded pathogen-free municipal solid waste compost" to its friends.
