I got these wood dowels from a friend and I can't figure out a few. Maybe you all can help. This is what I think. Top to bottom: (2)Zebra wood, (3)Cocobolo, (2) ? Maybe light colored Cocobolo, (1)Bocote, & (2)Walnut

The only ones that bug me are the lighter colored Cocobolo. Not that I haven't seen Coco that color, but it still looks pretty light for that much wood.

That's really cool!! I've never seen exotic hardwood dowels before. Bet they did not come out of the rack at Home Depot. Any idea where they were acquired originally??

He makes them. He uses square stock and routers it. He sells them cut into little pieces as beads and such for people that make jewelry.
