Help identifying Blanks

[Drcal]

I think (?) these blanks are all the same wood....not sure. I just don't know what they are. Too light to be Cocobolo. They are more the color of walnut but too figured to be walnut.

Anyone want to take a stab?

Ziricote

Macassar Ebony is my guess.

 

[greasythumb]

could be desert ironwood

 

[Drcal]

Just an FYI. This wood has no red in it. Just browns and black

I would guess zircote. In fact I'm pretty sure it's zircote.

 

[D.Oliver]

I think it is actually walnut.

 

[propencity]

Black Walnut is my guess.

 

[Drcal]

Too light in color for zircote!

 

[firewhatfire]

3 of em I would say zirocote

I would disagree with that statement . Your nose should be able to tell the difference between walnut and ziricote if you have known samples to compare them to .

My guess visually is walnut. If you'd like to send them to me, I'll gladly cut and turn some to find out if they smell like walnut :biggrin: I just cut 61 walnut blanks last night, so my nose is very well calibrated to it by now!

Black walnut; there are two with sapwood.

 

[BayouPenturner]

bocote

Maybe claro walnut?

 

[shortz1lla]

Count me among those on the Ziricote bandwagon. The sapwood looks too perfectly separated from the heartwood to be walnut, as well the grain appears to be far less porous.

I say Walnut. And you can have the figure in Walnut.
