Title: Please Help ID This Wood
Post by: tsriberio on April 19, 2020, 01:24:06 PM: It has a really cool reddish brown hue. Bubinga? Some sort of mahogany?

Post by: wood carver 2 on April 19, 2020, 02:11:42 PM: Looks like mahogany, but it also looks like jatoba. Hard to tell without being hands on.

It’s pretty rare. Grows in some of the darkest hollers in PA.

Post by: bigbob2 on April 21, 2020, 09:03:43 PM: I go with Bubinga too
Title: Re: Please Help ID This Wood
Post by: BigJim on April 23, 2020, 08:45:33 AM: without a close up of the grain, I vote bubinga. Colors are a funny thing and cameras don't always portray them honestly.
