This wood is called Xylay Lace, Genus family Fabaceae, sub family Casalpinioideae (it's all Greek to me). It grows mostly in Southeast Asia but can also be found in parts of Africa.

I'm sorry Brian, I forgot to be more specific on the variety of the wood. I'm usually pretty good at providing as much information as I know. The specific species is Afzelia Xylocarpa and yes I know it's Latin but it's still Greek to me :-)

I've used Afzelia burl on my knife handles. A beautiful wood.
That was too hard, give us an easy smeasy one.
