Visually interesting, but I don't see a board that I'd use to build a guitar. |

We'll have to wait for Jeff (Brazil Tonewoods) to tell us. I know some species look vastly different when they are first cut, and I'll trust that the end view of the reddish-colored heartwood logs are D Nigra, as Jeff notes on his site. I'm guessing that the other photos of the sliced slabs are probably something like (pre-oxidized) Pau Ferro, Kingwood, or Tulipwood. (If the slabs in the top photo are already oxidized, then I would guess Nargusta,Terminalia Amazonia.) So, Jeff, what is it? Dennis |

Looks a lot like Kingwood, also a rosewood from Brazil, not dalbergia nigra. |

If you go to his site where the pictures are, he states that it's Nigra, and furthermore the file names of the pictures contain "brazialianrosewood" in them. http://www.braziltonewoods.com/currentnews.html |

Smells like "Dalbergia Nigra" to me.

Hi Lance, Thought you might appreciate this set. It's one of the most unique I've seen since I've been in Brazil.

Too bad the sides aren't the back and visa versa. That bookmatch would be out of this world on a back. |

Those were my thoughts exactly Paul. That's a one in a million design on the side set. I'm still looking for that one piece for the BACK AND SIDES.

Jeff, Are the 2 top photos that Lance originally posted (from your site) also D Nigra? Dennis |
