It's either Honduran rosewood or pau ferro.

I think I remember that first one going in an OLF swap meet, and it just about crashed the server because it was priced so low. :lol:

Let's see...BRW, BRW, BRW...

My official guess, as someone who has always lusted after a bucket of lard, is: Bosnian Royal Wood

without the clues I would have guessed BRW, HonduranRW, BRW, BRW. With clues I'd say all BRW :D
