Wood ID Please

Should have saved the label on the blanks. Turning it produced mustard-colored shavings. It has been coated with CA. Thank you.

Any odor that you noticed while turning it?

 

[TellicoTurning]

If it didn't have the stripes, from the mustard colored dust, would have guess IPE, the stripes throw me.
IPE will have sort of a spicy smell...

Looks like Bocote to me.

 

[Terredax]

Bocote?

 

[ed4copies]

I'm also in the Bocote camp.

I'm far from an expert, but it looks almost identical to some bocote that I've turned.

 

[TonyL]

Thank you all.

I wear an organic vapor and dust mask, run a DC, position a fan in front of the lathe, and a shop air filter. If a skunk pooped on my head, I wouldn't smell it.
Funny..if I don't wear that type of mask, I wake up with a light, but persistent cough in the morning (no matter what I turn).

Thanks again!

Tony , I think you have an opportunity to make a pen no one has ever showed on IAP - a skunk hair pen . They have such a beautiful , soft tail . It would be a natural extension of the tail feather blanks sold on the forum .

I revise my vote... I completely forgot about Bocote... one of my favorite woods, but haven't had any in a couple of years...

 

[TonyL]

When I looked-up mages of Bocote, I was a perfect match. Thank you.

 

[Pens By Scott]

I'd agree. Bocote, and oh, by the way, really nice pen!

 

[TonyL]

Thank you.

Not to beat a dead horse, but my vote is bocote.

 

[sbwertz]

Probably bocote, but I have some kingwood that looks a lot like that, and although it is usually redder, I have some tulipwood that looks a lot like that, too.

 

[jttheclockman]

Could have been Zebra wood also. No side view so tough to tell.

 

[tomas]

Looks like possibly Zebra Wood to me.

Thank you. It was Bocote.
