Please Help Me ID The Wood In My Joss (Updated)
EDIT: I took better photos last night so I updated the pics below.
Everyone,
I have a Joss 94-5 with some odd looking wood in it. Please help me ID WTH they used to make it.
The butt sleeve has an obvious MOP inlay, but what is the light colored wood surrounding it (the box)? The same wood is used as the forearm and it is rather feature-less. Is this just plain maple with a little stain on it?
The major component of the sleeve is a not-quite-black ebony (dark brown swirls).
Immediately surrounding the MOP is a dark gray/slightly brownish, straight-grained wood that is also used in the points. It is not ebony I am sure of that.
The points are the same dark gray/slightly brownish, straight-grained with [EDIT: some sort of copper-colored material inlayed. Is it wood or some synthetic or...?] leopardwood.
