What kind of wood is this?

[Knobgoblin]

I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not sure how @Nosferatu would have seen it.

At least he got his beretta

I think definitely spalted something, I have some English walnut that blew down during the Columbus day storm that Is lightly spalted, (mineral stained) made for great looking boxes and pistol grips. Left natural, not stained, but yellowed from finish and age, but adding some stain they could come out any color you wanted.

I haven't been petty yet today, so here goes: Technically, if it's not caused by fungus, it's not spalted.

I'll take, "what does bullbubblegum smell like for $1000 Alex".

A lesser man might take umbrage at that slight. But I shan't.

Looks like spalted tamarind to me (not maple).


But there is a lot of variety with how these species look.

Don't rework it or sand it without some lung protection.

Probably spalted maple, but l have had spalted pecan that looked similar. Its safe to say that it is spalted something.

I prefer my pecans salted.

I have no problem with petty. On a scientific level, your correction is bigger than petty, not as big as Richard Petty of course, but still a big deal.
Mea Culpa to all Fungi Large and small out there I may have offended. Except psilocybin fungi, I don't believe they care.

 

[Stomper]

That is not cocobolo

Nope, it's morning wood.

 

[MacReady]

Ive seen custom grips for a Dan Wesson made from Zebrawood that looked a lot like those. But when you get to a certain point a lot of wood starts looking pretty similar.
