I found this in a box of blanks I can't identify. What is it? This is a Smitty's Creekline that I shortened the top tube by 1/4 inch I think it looks good with the shorter top tube.
Looks like Zircote to me.
Jim - Zircote is a wood that comes primarily from Mexico. Go here: Exotic Wood zircote for some additional info and pics. I've used it often (my daily is a Vertex in Zircote) and I like it a lot. The sapwood is sharply defined and different because it is very light in color. It's kind of hard, somewhat prone to chipout (IME) and takes a CA finish nicely.
