I was given this wood in Hawaii. It was taken from an ornamental that none of the locals could identify (at the time)... Not Milo, Koa, Kamani, too light in weight and "sleepy" grained to be ebony or black wood.
10 inches across by by 3 inches high.

George, I'm sorry I don't know what type of wood that it is, but, I do know that I like this bowl, well done.

I have no idea either, but I love natural edge bowls. Great job!!

Good looking bowl. The yellow sapwood and the bark - could be a rosewood. We grow it here as an ornamental so it should grow in Hawaii. Soil conditions would affect the color some.

The color looks like Kolohala or pheasant wood, but I can't see the detail in the grain that looks like pheasant feathers.

Could be Mesquite. I just returned from Hawaii and saw a few Texas Mesquite trees...
Nice bowl, BTW...

Looks a bit like monkeypod but no one has ever called that light either... Last time I brough some back the ag check airport people asked "what the heck do you have in here? Rocks?!"
So no idea but its a nice looking piece of wood alright.
