bandaideman Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 No idea on the type of wood but peeing on it seemed to bring out the grain more. GrampaJim and blights69 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 It is either Sapele or Mahogany. There are many variations in both but that is what it looks like to me. With out handling it I can not tell for sure. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retmsgt Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks y'all. I will look at the various species of mahogany to see it I can find more. Beautiful grain. Again, thanks Semper Fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Yep either Sapele or Mahogany. They are very similar. There are several species of Mahogany. But they all look pretty much the same. Semper Fi Edited May 16, 2017 by Scrappile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blights69 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Coconut veneer at a guess but if I was pushed I would say sapele but what do I know most of my cuts are on vinyl lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
