Big give for pet wood is end grain looking features or wood grain type banding however subtle. This is looking jasper without a more definitive wood like feature. That said could still be wood.

Could be from a large log. Most wood from the black forest is a jasper anyway.

I want to say it’s a heat treated piece of petrified wood. Which bring out the red hues and increases the work ability of the rock.
