Stick identification

[qquake]

Got me a new stick from the cutoff bin at Rockler. Anybody have an idea what it is?

Three guesses. Monkey Pod, Mahogany or maybe Koa but outside chance.

I think it looks most like a mahogany, but I don't know for sure.

The grain doesn't look right for mahogany, I think it more closely matches bubinga.

Yeah, you could be right.

Sapele

You could be right, too. It's a mystery.

is it light or heavy/dense? Sapele I think would be light

The JPG-003 image show a barcode sticker which leads me to believe that it is Bubinga.

There is no barcode on the long piece I bought. The pics with the sticker are of a piece of known bubinga that I posted for comparison.

It's approximately 12" long and 1" square. It weighs 4.9oz, so I'd say fairly dense.

I'd say bubinga, for sure!

My first inclination without seeing what others said—Bubinga
