What is this wood?

[craig]

Had this blank in a bunch of scrap. Made a deer call and this pill box for some friends.. can not remember what it is. This is the natural color. Be nice to tell em what kinda wood.

A little blurry when I try to zoom in but a guess would be Padauk.

Echoing Mrducks, that looks like padouk, but it's too blurry to be 100% certain.

Maybe this one is clearer. Has a redish dust when sanded slight orange tint

 

[sorcerertd]

Definitely Padauk.

 

[derekdd]

Definitely Padauk.

I agree.

Nothing else looks quite like it.

 

[craig]

Looks unanimous, thanks guys. It sounds better saying it's paduck rather than (0h just a piece of scrap I had laying around).

Yes, my opinion too. It is also often called Vermilion and it was added to the CITES appendix of rare and threatened species in February this year. - Dave

Ohh, so I'd better stock up on some.

I'm guessing availability will still be OK for a few years, but now that the importers/exporters need to get some kind of CITES licensing, I would imagine the price will be affected the most - and certainly the first. I just bought some IPE (Brazilian Walnut) because of the same thing. - Dave
