#1: Did it have any special odor(s) while turning?
#2: Pretty hard on the density? Or just so-so, kind of medium?
#3: Where did it come from(do you remember the vendor)?
#4: Is the color actually light brown(or is my old guy eyes seeing something different)?
If it smelled like pencil shavings, then it definitely is not amboyna. Amboyna has a wonderful (to me anyway) and distinctive smell. It might be mesquite. That was my initial thought when I first looked at it. Was it hard?
