things aren't always what you think they are,,,,, i was fooled

hi folks, we each are fooled sometime in life, lol and my day was today,

i found some wood where i worked, and put it aside , and put a note on it if i could have it, about a week later i got the ok to go ahead and take it home, i thought it was butternut, it looked like it and so i drag it home, looking forward to carving maybe for some christmas ornaments, lol well to my surprise it was not butternut, it was a veneer butternut over the same butternut particle board, cause i looked at the end it , and it was the same color, until i had cut it on a bandsaw that i realized it was not what i thought it was..... so now what do i do with it , i cant carve it but it will be some nice shelving somewhere around my home, so live and learn , things arent always what you think they are, happy carving everyone, arleen
