An enlarged and enhanced version of [id=189534861; this suspension]. I think I can see wood grain, and it seems a lot like walnut. If Dan gave some indication of the weight, that would also greatly assist in the identification. I'm sure walnut vs. porcelain is very different!

My guess is that in Don's hands he suspects (knows?) it's walnut or at least wood, and from this enhanced photograph, I think I do too! Thoughts?
