Help Identifing Wood

[StuartCovey]

Hey all,
I need help identifying the red wood on this Jr. Gent pen.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

I don't know what the woods are but it is a beautiful pen.

Looks like it's from the mahogony family, maybe sapele.

That's a very nice pen! The main wood looks like the bloodwood I've got. The accent wood in the knot looks like it could maybe be a mahogany or padauk?

Thanks all for the responses.
After a couple google searches on the woods you guys responded with, it looks like Bloodwood is the closes match.

Thanks again!

Padauk?

The woods grain looks like Padauk to me.

Lovely pen, love the outline on the Celtic Knot. Looks like Paduak to me.

Ok, I take back my previous post :redface: I found another blank that I had matched up with this one and its Padauk.

Tiger- Can you believe the outline on the knot is soda can aluminum? :wink:

Padauk +1

I suspected it was aluminium, i did one once where i had some thin black plastic sandwiched between 2 bits of aluminium, had a blowout on the lathe and never completed it, your pen looks great though and the Paduak is a rich red colour that looks spectacular.
