Wood ID help

[Ricc Havens]

Just turned this coffee mug out of some scraps I had laying around. Sorry in advance on the poor lighting and picture quality. I'm on disability and can't afford a light box or a camera bet my iPhone!.

Before I put the finish coat on I want to write the wood species on the bottom along with my signature.

I know the light wood is maple. But not sure of the reddish wood. It's hard but cuts smoothly and sands to a nice finish.

Anyone have any thoughts on what type of wood it is??

Thanks

My guess is cherry.

[Ricc Havens]

It didn't seem like other cherry I have turned and it didn't have the same smell - but I could be wrong :):)

Ricc, I'm thinking Cocobolo, or some other rosewood.

[Harry Robinette]

I'm thinking more like Padauk.

[Mike Hollingsworth]

one more for Cherry

[David Coburn]

Since it didn't smell like Cherry I'll rule that one out... I'd also guess Padauk or maybe Jatoba.

When turning it seemed denser than cherry that I had turned before. It's not as orange as the Padauk I have turned. It was actually a lot lighter in color but in the pic it has one coat of Watco danish oil. Definitely not cocobolo as I am allergic to the dust so it never enters my shop.

It might be Jatoba as David suggested. I checked google images and it looks very close. So unless anyone else has any suggestions I will assume it's jatoba.

Looks like Jatoba to me, aka Brazilian cherry, your description sound right too....

[robert baccus]

Jatoba is a good guess for sure. One other might be red heart--a tropical.

[Dave Cullen]

Maybe Bubinga?

[robert baccus]

Try checking out Hobbitt house woods--a priceless reference.

[Ricc Havens]

I will check it out

Thanks
