Wood recognition

[Campervan]

Do any if you knife makers recognise this wood(If it is wood)?

Guava?? Possibly.

I thought it was a biscuit

 

[Plinky Dave]

I’d eat it

Is it cut obliquely? I'm thinking it might be lati. Google The Wood Database - they have an identification guide and all the characteristics. If you weigh it and calculate the density, and compare hardness with other know wood's that might help narrow it down.

Looks like black palm wood, great for knife handles

Wilco was right, its Guava, for a knife I am making

Post a picture when you have made it.

I thought you didn’t know, rather than a test….

Yes, pictures needed…

So what is the plan with the guava wood then?

 

[Campervan]

Whilst on the subject of knife making, I am exploring the subject of laser etching!
Anyone offer any advice please?

I made a lot of knives years ago, and I am going to have another go at it!

Hi Campervan, I can not help on the type of wood, but what a beautiful knife handle it will make. It looks almost like an expensive laminate. I pray it will turn out well for you. Best of luck. Cheers. CSW.
