Name That Wood II

Post by David L »

Okay let's step it up a notch. This one I would give a difficulty rating of "Medium".

By the way, My wife's new camera has a resolution capability of over 5000 pixels but this website won't allow over 3000 pixels so my wife had to dumb the camera down so that I would be able to post pictures here. What that means is (of course) that it's harder to see some of the details such as "figuring" which is an important aspect when trying to identify a species of wood.

Kevin you are absolutely right. Now can anyone name the type of "figure" that this board exhibits?

Very good John, Ribbon Stripe Sapele. I see I'm gonna have to toughen up on you guys, you're making this look too easy. That's alright, I've got some real stumpers (no pun intended) coming up and a few tricks too!
