description says (available from main page):"Detail from a new bench from Gus made from construction beam material."
The end grain looks like compressed worms.

LVL. slightly different from glue lam, but same idea.
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.
