Pernambuco It was labelled as pernambuco. I have only seen one in photos, could not verify it properly as the end grains are not exposed properly. It is on more on the orange side. The woodshop has day light lamps, have not seen it in natural light yet. D

pernambuco hi, thank you for all of you help. d

pernambuco here is the orange-colored wood. thanks

Pernambuco The outside color is on the orange side, the room lighting might give it an off color. Will post the photo later as i will drop by at the wood shop again. Aside from the color, is there any other distinguishing characteristic? Thanks for the help. D

spalted bem happy easter! thanks for all the replies and giving me some notes/pointers and very good opinions on this matter. thanks again. d

spalted bem thanks for the reply. as far as i know, it is already dried to 8%. so next step is stabilization. would diy type using CA or wood juice suffice or it needs to be professionally stabilized? the latter is a bit costly aside from shipping. i apologize for added questions. just...
