Never seen it before, but while looking at different woods I found this, might help a bit.

Robert look under Panama Rosewood and see if that is what you have, supposedly great for guitar making, Also if you don't mind where did you get it at thanks Blake

Thanks Blake, I will look it up. I know it is from Central America so Panama sounds good. I got it at Windsor Plywood in Prince George.40" long 2"x4" for about $13 a bf.Its really pretty red/brown with a mild curl.A guy on another forum said Mordillo. Bob

4point,

The Windsor Plywood in my area carries all sorts of exotics.

They will order anything you wish, that they can source, too.

Winsdor didn't have a real good selection. Thats how I ended up with the coyote. Everything cost an arm and a leg and wasn't that good of quality.So the hunt for good wood goes on.I checked on shipping from Pa. and it was $100 for a 66# package.  :eek:  Bob

I have been lucky a company by the name of Black Forest Lumber company, carries a large selection every now and then if you catch them when the new stuff comes in, been some nice stuff.
