I agree that is very interesting grain. Keep the PICs coming as you build it.

It looks like Narra, ut that is from the Phillipins(I think). Looks good though.

Looks like lacewood to me.  Nice chunk of wood, whatever it is!

Very nice grain in both pieces. I'm curious as to why they are both round. Have they been turned on a lathe? Or just de-barked?
