Title: Mystery wood
Post by: Daryl on January 03, 2024, 03:06:10 PM
Hi Guys, Wanted to share a nice one with you. I received this wood from Mr. Gary Anderson and neither one of us know what it is. It is very hard and heavy and has some nice figure to it, it just doesn't show up in the picture. Topped with a horn m/p. Thanks all for looking.

Thank you. Seems to be way too hard and heavy for any kind of Walnut.

Trying to zoom in to see the grain, but it's hard. Could it have come from a dark blank of ziricote.

Nice looking trumpet.  Too dark to tell what type wood it is.  I can't tell much about the grain, but it looks to run laterally instead of lengthwise.

Considering the grain lines and its weight...Could be a very dark piece of Ringed Gidgee, but normally RG has more lighter brown to it.

Plays real easy. I put an angled m/p on this one.
