large balck hornet/wasp type body, with white markings. Nest resmbles that of a carpenter bee, round hole chewed into wooden rafter. I have seen enough carpenter bees to know the difference. The body of this is more to the shape of a wasp or hornet only much larger.

I know what you talking about and have seen these. But, I really not know their name.
Well there are about 75,000 kinds of Wasps.
Look at these pictures; http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?ei=UTF-8&fr=slv1-msgr&p=Sphecid%20wasps&fr2=tab-web

Then read this, it close as I could get;
Sphecid wasps range in size from 9 to 51 mm (0.4 to 2.0 in) long. They may be black, black and red, yellow and black, or white and black; some are tinged with metallic blue or green. Sphecid wasps prey on a wide variety of insects, including cockroaches, caterpillars, bees, grasshoppers, flies, spiders, beetles, crickets, ants, and leafhoppers. Sphecids hunt to provide for their young. The female wasp's sting can inflict a painful wound in defense, but in general they are shy creatures and pose no threat to humans.
