Puzzle #8 is another Wood Identification Puzzle. This will probably be the last puzzle for this year's BASH.
Your challenge is to identify the wood shown in the attached photo. Either the scientific or common name is acceptable.
Here are the rules:
1. General IAP Contest rules and the General BASH Puzzle rules apply
2. You must submit your entry using the official puzzle entry form: https://www.penturners.org/form/puzzle-contest.12/select
3. One entry per person and one answer per entry. Your entry must contain your real name, the puzzle number, and your guess.
4. Each correct answer will earn 1 or 2 points toward the overall Puzzle Prize total
5. Banter is expected and encouraged, but DO NOT post any hints or real guesses in this thread.
6. This contest will close at noon Central Time on Wednesday Feb 23
8. In addition to earning a point toward the grand prize, each correct entry will also be entered into a drawing for one or more individual puzzle prizes
HINTS:
1. This wood is some that I brought back from Hawaii
2. The wood is one of the following -- a correct answer is worth one point
Koa
Eucalyptus
Mahogany
Sugi
Hills Weeping Fig (aka Banyan)
NOTE: Even if you have no idea what this wood might be, take a guess and send in an entry anyway. At the end of the puzzle contests, there will be a drawing from all entrants who didn't earn a single point in any contest. Bottom line is, you can't win anything if you don't enter.
Good luck, have fun, and let me know if you have any questions
