I bought this binding a while back... I may have gotten it from someone on the OLF. But can't remember what it is and I don't recognized it... Can oneone identify this binding? |

Looks like bocote to me; could be zebrawood. I would bet against Honduran rosewood. Definitely not Pau Ferro as you can see some large pores. |

Not Zebra wood, unless the color rendering is way off. Doesn't look dark enough to be Bocote. Looks like a rosewood of some type to me. Does it have any odor when scrapes or sanded? |

Looks sort of like Bubinga but grain is tighter. Does it smell like anything? Bubinga & Zebrano stink. Kevin Looker |

It looks a lot like some Amazon rosewood I bought recently. It would appear to be a rosewood of some kind. Nice stuff !!! |

Okay - the winner is Honduran Rosewood. Matt PMed me and reminded me that I had bought the binding from him. He helped me out by selling me a set of black limba sides after I broke one during bending. I bought the binding from him at the same time. |
