It has a really cool reddish brown hue. Bubinga? Some sort of mahogany?

I would guess Mahogany.

Looks like mahogany, but it also looks like jatoba. Hard to tell without being hands on.

Can you post a good close up and a shot of the endgrain?

I vote Wenge. A great wood.

Can't tell much from that distant of view.

Looks like bubinga to me. How heavy is it?

Bubinga is my guess.

Sorry, I’m just kidding.
I’m being deprived of turkey hunting this spring and my sense of humour is a bit off.

It’s pretty rare. Grows in some of the darkest hollers in PA.

bigbob2 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2020, 09:03:43 PM »

I go with Bubinga too

BigJim · « **Reply #15 on:** April 23, 2020, 08:45:33 AM »

without a close up of the grain, I vote bubinga. Colors are a funny thing and cameras don't always portray them honestly.

Glad you are back on deck Roy, even if your eyesight is wonky!!
