Anyone know what wood this is?

[WarrenMorrison]

The photo shows a pen that I made ages ago - back when I actually made slimlines on a regular basis. I've got a customer that wants this wood with better hardware, but without knowing what the wood is, all I can do is hope that the blank I buy is it.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

bloodwood or padauk?

It looks like Brazilian Cherry...

Looks just a bit orange for blood wood but padauk is a great guess.

Just added a bigger/higher resolution photo. I don't think that it's quite Bloodwood or African Padauk, though it could be another type of Padauk.

I'm thinking Black Walnut

The more that I look at it, the more that it looks like Brazilian Cherry. It's pretty close, anyway.

mahogany

Bloodwood or Redheart that's started to darken would be my guesses.

Thanks for the help everyone! You guys are the best!

closer picture would do it but im pretty sure its padauk

african mahogany is my guess

It seems to have the void streaks of Padauk and it is the color of Jatoba that I have used. Most of my padauk stays pretty orange in color, however. How about apitong? Maybe that is a long shot.

My guess

Michael T Shue Studios Wood Blog: African Padauk (Pterocarpus Sayauxii)

Looks like bubinga to me.
