I have no idea at all what it is. Is it elm?

On second thoughts............no, it's not.

Mike,
I have no idea what the wood is, but its definitely not elm, I think it might be one of the many rose woods, its quite hard and oily. I used the buffing mops to finish it, but it looks almost the same as the finish from a bevel rubbing cut with a bowl gouge.

Dave

Looks good the wood is a bit light for Panga Panga could it be Cocobolo species but has the same streaks and pores as your piece. Looks well turned and it does look like an anvil for a gavel.

Great idea for those who are a little slow in drinking their wine or whatever it is they drink
