Name that wood. - daddo - 05-30-2018
BIL got this wood in slabs 2" thick. He was told it was from India but isn't sure.
What do you think?

I don't know but it sure is pretty.

Bathroom wood.
Comes with free sharp, square, hip busting edges.

It's just sitting there- isn't fastened down yet and will be trimmed. Since another one developed a crack after he brought it in, I advised him to let it acclimate to the house for a couple weeks or so.
The other one is fine after filling the crack with epoxy and redoing the way it was fastened down so it could move.

African Mahogany would be my guess

That doesn't look even a little bit like African mahogany to me.

I agree. I've seen that wood before but do not remember what it's called. Seems like it was in a store dealing with African products. I'm pretty sure it's not domestic. That's all I've got.
