I have had to google some of your guesses. Im ashamed to say morning wood was on that list. And thats all i'll be saying about that LOL.
Most woods are known by more than one name. I wont be accepting any alternate names. Theres one name that will win the box. It is very rare, yet very well known to woodworkers. Theres a couple guesses that are very close...but no cigar. ;)

[Mike O]

I was gonna guess macassar ebony, but someone did. Now, with the DQ??

[Garfly]

Teak=Abodian

[eastbayed]

It looks a little like Mopane, a wood from southern Africa, although the grain on your box is much tighter.

Now, with the DQ??

My original post states one guess per person. This is a beautiful wooden fly box. I cant make it too easy ;)

Lets keep it going! I'm enjoying looking up some of these woods you guys are guessing :)

[Bitter Dave]

I'm gonna guess Pergo. :p

[Scott V]

[Garfly]

[FoothillFlyFisher]

[jbird]

.J-Bird...Are Ya' ready for a second round of guesses yet?!

Not yet ;)


Come on Jbird, you know one of my guesses is right! :mad:

Actually, nobody has guessed it right yet. When someone gets it, you can google the name of the wood to confirm it. Theres LOTS of info out there on it.

[SHigSpeed]

May not count, but I'll put it out there...

Ovangkol

[FISHEYE]

African Padauk

[jbird]

OK. Round two. You can have one more guess. If you havent posted yet, you can have two guesses.

I'm gonna drop a couple vague hints.

Second hint. The wood is native to South America.

Im gonna give away this box to someone!

[David Lee]

Looks like Wamara . Close to Canary , but the grain looks to be too straight .....

[SHigSpeed]

Pau-ferro?

_SHig

[DLJeff]

I'm going with Pau Ferro. It really looks a lot like cocobolo (or Granadillo) but cocobolo is a little redder and is so oily I don't think you could put a finish on it.

[rubberguy]

Monterillo

[ted1]

1) Honduras Rosewood?
2) Kabukalli?

[jbird]

...and Bolivian Rosewood.

_SHig

[jbird]

...Its also sometimes called Tiger Rosewood, Ecuador Rosewood, Jacarando pardo, to name a few. It only has one true name though. Monterillo. It is actually VERY expensive and coveted by wood junkies. I stumbled accross this piece recently.

One of the funnier atributes is it is very desirable in wand making...As in magic wands. LOL. It supposedly possesses some dangerous powers according to the harry potter crowd. LOL

PS Rubberguy made contact and this box is gone. i may do some more give aways in the future. :)
