Oops. Did I get the name of the wood wrong? I got the wood from Jim, so he would know...

That looks like the bubinga to me. The padauk is redder with a less-pronounced grain. I could be wrong, though.

No, I think you're right. The other wood is much redder. This is more dark brown.

Great looking scales and blade. I like the traditional shapes, I am a form follows fuction type of guy.
I really must start doing better on my blades, yours and several others have put me to shame.
