Need help with wood id

[micah]

Can someone help me with the type of wood that the Gold Lotus in this picture is made from? http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/store/Pen_Making___Pen_Kits___Lotus___lotus_pen?Args=

Thanks!

The capped one is made from Buckeye Burl, can't help you with the uncapped one. sorry.

Sorry, I'm a goofball....I meant the the Titanium one. [)]

Near impossible to tell from the picture alone. My best guess is walnut that has a little figure.

i'd guess rosewood burl or something? although i did have a rosewood blank that ended up looiking quite similar to that.

I'm with Frank-----can't tell for sure, but I too would guess Walnut burl, or really nice Claro Walnut.

When I looked at it, it kinda reminded me of Russian olive burl......
