Albino Wenge! I like the dark stuff. African Crater Wood. I've got a nicely quartered board that will make a couple of great sets. That stuff looks great! I guess you don't know if it's sap wood? Good find.

Cheers,
Danny

That stuff rung more like honduran than anything else...knock two pieces together and it sustains like crazy...def more resonant than straight wenge. I think you just like collecting it...when are you going to build another OM???


He's gotta finish that MadRose/Bearclaw Euro jumbo baritone first.

That wood looks similar to some wood I built a guitar with back last year.....I bought it at a lumber supply yard and they called it "Angelim Pedra". I did google searches on it but didn't really find out much about it.

If the same as what I have...it bends well and is nice to work with.
