Mystery wood- Can you identify?

[11top]

What is this?

 

[John Beef]

Kinda looks like a well marbled hunk of beef, only with different colors. So, I'm going to say Meatwood. Beefwood. Steakwood. Deliciouswood. Succuentwood.

I got your mystery wood... right here!!!

Morning?

 

[Whitecat]

Looks a little like very highly-figured mango wood... the black is probably spalt...

Just a guess though...

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Pfennwood.

 

[11top]

Come on guys. Where are you wood aficionados?

 

[bodia]

Claro walnut or marblewood

 

[veinbuster]

I just know I like it.
It has some characteristics of a few woods. Colour palette is very zircote like, but there seems to be some burl effect and maybe even some spalting.

Looks similar to the Claro Walnut on my Patrick James Eggle.

Come on guys. Where are you wood aficionados?

I just like looking at it. And stroking it. But mostly looking at it. Maybe rubbing my wrist on it once in a while. Maybe wrapping my hand around a nice, rock-hard...maple neck.

If 11Top has to ask, it's from outer space.

I don't think he has to ask.
He probably already has some Martian building him something from it though.

Sexwood.

 

[Dusty Chalk]

It's not wood, it's marble.

Is that olive?

Actually, it is in fact the same wood as your beautiful guitar, except it's not Claro. It's English walnut (Juglans Regia), with marbling. A highly figured piece like this, if big enough for a shotgun blank could bring as much as $2,000. Personally, I think there's no prettier wood.

 

[xjbebop]

It is gorgeous!

 

[alantig]

Is that olive?

Well, it's not Alice the Goon!

 

[BMiller]

It looks incredible....but how does it sound?

Flametop, mine's not as pretty as yours, but here's a Carvin I had made years ago from a top I sent to them:
