Any ideas on this wood

[Guerra Cues]

Hey folks,
I got this crazy wood from a supplier here in my area and he has some other crazy burl slabs. This wood almost looks like gator print in the wood. I am waiting for him to cut me a piece for the butt.
What do you think it is?

Looks like bubinga to me. I have a 1.75 x 67" piece that looks close to those. Whatever it is, it looks nice. Marry it to some quilted maple...

Quilted maple will look nice for sure. I have bubinga here and it does not look a whole lot like it. Whatever it is, it is cool looking. I know it came from Laos.

looks like afzeila (hope i spelled it right)

Figured Bubinga is my guess. One of my favorite woods.

Apologies on my entirely nonconstructive post, couldnt resist.

Looks like Makamong (Afzelia) Swirl to me.

If you research bubinga, you will find it has many different figures. This, if bubinga, is highly figured. I think it may also be bubinga.

I couldnt find any high figured pics of pyinkado. Don't believe it to be that.

If you send me 2 pieces, I'll analyze them and send one back.:grin::grin::wink:
I don't think bubinga as it tends to be a red/pinkish or red/brown from the pieces I have. Unless the color is off on the camera. Either way it's some nice figure.

It is Alligator Afzlalia Tony. Did you get it from Tedley Moniking?

I agree. If it came from Asia, it coudln't be bubinga. It will be nice to see this made into a cue.

The pores make it look like Bubinga. Show us pictures of the side grain.

Looks like madrone to me.

If it's heavier then Maple I'd vote again for Bubinga. Take some pictures of the side showing the grain layers.

 

[Piercyexclusive]

afzelia is what I vote

Have you seen 5A pomelle bubinga? That has figuring similar to this except it's way more figured. Here's a nice piece.

from the pics I managed to find via Google images it seems very likely.
