davos522 Posted July 16, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Need some help identifying this wood. I had it in a box with some Honduran mahogany and assumed that’s what it was, but then realized that a) the grain was much finer, b) the color was much lighter, and c) I’ve never seen a piece of mahogany with that miniature figuring in it… whatever it is it appears to be quartersawn. Could it be Swiss pear? Cherry? I’m not familiar with pear, except as veneer. The color seems right for either one, anyway. Dave V.

Roger Pellett Posted July 16, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2023 Not pear or cherry. There are many woods called mahogany. The bottom piece in your photo looks like The species known as Laun. Roger Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
