It has a really cool reddish brown hue. Bubinga? Some sort of mahogany?

Looks like mahogany, but it also looks like jatoba. Hard to tell without being hands on.

Sorry, I'm just kidding.

Mongolian tulip  :archer2:

Is that even a real thing?
It's pretty rare. Grows in some of the darkest hollers in PA.

without a close up of the grain, I vote bubinga. Colors are a funny thing and cameras don't always portray them honestly.
