Cigar Pen - Mystery Wood

[Rangertrek]

Can you help me figure out this species of wood? It was labeled as 'unknown - Brazil'. Another blank I have has a little more of an orange tint. Both blanks were labeled the same.
Thanks for any assistance, opinions, or critique on the pen.
Pen is a Fat Cigar from AS, Satin Copper plating.

Can`t help you on the blanks but you turned it into a beautiful pen.

John,
If it is a fairly hard, dense wood, it looks like
Jatoba, or "brazilian cherry" to me.
The color variations and open looking grain lead me in that direction.
I have used a lot of Jatoba for flat work.
Nice looking pen, also.

I have some Teak that looks alot like that.
Maybe?

 

[fernhills]

I think B Cherry to.

I'd agree with Johnny's guess.

I have a couple of blanks that are Goncalo Alves that look very similar to your blanks.

Very nice work on your pen, as for the wood----South American Palet Wood!!!

 

[Russianwolf]

possibly Chakte Viga or Pernambuco.

looks like jatoba to me

 

[woodenwriters]

B Cherry.... I have lots of this.

 

[bitshird]

Nice pens, and I vote Jatoba, I have a bunch of it, it does make a nice pen and is very stable wood,

 

[Munsterlander]

I've only done a couple using Jatoba, but the thing I recall is that the grain wanted to raise a lot even after sanding - if you noticed that, my guess is Jatoba (or perhaps I just had a weird experience). If it came out nice and smooth, agree with the b cherry. (My goncalo alves always had more color variation than that appears to have...)

 

[paprgypc]

Name that wood

I also think that it looks like Jatoba. I have a lot of this wood for pen blanks.

That is a great looking pen that you made.

[johncrane]

You nailed the fit,lam a bit like Mark with the wood.:biggrin:

I have some wood from a semi trl floor I believe this is the same thing APITOD. just my thinking. the finished pen looks just the same as some I have turned out of this wood

 

[TX_Planes]

I also think it's Jatoba. I have some in my stack and when turned looks very much like your pen. BTW, nice job on the pen!
