    See if you can

    guess this wood. This is my first time working with this wood. This is the top to the shtender I am making. With you all though I'm sure someone will guess it first time out. I'll also post pics of the side. (the other looks the same LOL. It will be curly maple, (secret wood top), and blood wood. Which BTW I scored the most awesome deep crimson colored blood wood I've seen in a while. I can't wait to see the finish on it. But with no further ado.

    The sides in curly maple.






    The mystery wood....

    Nope this is WAY more expensive believe it or not. This is also 12" boards bookmatched and glued up for the book rest.


    hint: This is an african hard wood. And is considered a rare wood.

    satinwood?

    can't be sure from the color, but the figure and color suggest it could be some nicely figured satinwood?? And that would be expensive, as I just bought a supply of exceptionally figurged satinwood and almost had to take out a second mortgage
