Hi all,
LONG time since I last posted, but im back
I`m currently rebuilding a Bass I made many years ago, my first in fact.
I still have no idea what one of the woods(the dark wood) I used actually is, Any ideas from the pics below?
The colour is really rich and goes from a Brown to a Deep reddish brown depending on the lighting conditions. Some really nice figuring too but I couldn't capture it properly on camera.
It is very dense, little heavy and close grained. Very nice to work with, machines very well.
the loaded body weighs in at a touch over 3kg.
I had originally thought it was a curly mahogany of sorts but couldn't be sure, It is way way darker than any other African mahogany I have used anyway.
Any help appreciated,
John.
