I got this in the mail yesterday

Can anyone help identify this wood? It is from Hawaii.
I apologize for the type of attachments have yet to figure out how to post the actual picture to the post. If someone will be so kind as to let me know how this can be done it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Rich

It looks like Koa to me. But colors on computers can be deceiving.

It's blistered koa. Pretty stuff. Looks like some of the harder variety, which is very stable & strong, can be used without coring.

That one looks like it will need a lot of offset .

What do you mean by offset?

My first thought was Koa also ....

It looks like sapelle to me, slightly mottled.

I vote on koa. Pretty wood.
