Possibly recycled UHMW? It can come in a dark muddy or yellow color..

So is that the full pattern? Is the interior pocketed out and used as
the mating pattern for the part? [Instead of two patterns?]

Jarrett,
The material was still a mystery... so we did the specific gravity test. It
floats in water, so is most likely recycled UHMW. Unusual color for this,
but almost no other plastic has this density.

Where the H@LL did you find a chunk THAT big? For free no less..
Crazy... I pay many dollars per sqr foot of 1" stuff..
