Mystery Wood Baron

[Dalecamino]

My second of two Christmas gifts . I dug this out of a box of blanks , it wasn't labeled . I have no idea what kind of wood this is . I matched it up with a Chrome Baron . Best photos I can get right now .

Merry Christmas everybody ! :biggrin:

Too sweet Chuck, too sweet. Nice match with the kit. I'd have to say it's Mahogany from what I can see in the pics.

Thanks Steve ! It would be sweeter if I knew how to put those feathers in it . LOL

I really need to learn how to line up the grain on these double barrel kits . I may have to search the library .

Thanks for the comments !

very nice combo. Good looking fit and finish. Great Job!

Could be mesquite.

Might be Jabota too or possibly Sapele

 

[Mack C.]

My vote is for Lacewood!

Chuck, I'd go with Mahogany or possibly Jatoba, if it was hard and left a fuzzy finished cut, Jatoba, if it left a better finished cut Mahogany would be my guess, but it sure is a nice looking pen.

Very nice.

Thanks guys . Ken , the wood cut down very smooth with the skew . No fuzziness at all . I have some Sapele in the shop , SOMEWHERE . I'll get out there after a bit , and compare . The bare wood had almost a grayish brown color to it . I gave it a coat of BLO , and brought out the brown . Thanks for the comments !
