From the subject line, I thought you were going to describe a grammar
school for eels or somesuch.

The wood itself is basically a walnut brown but it has
awesome interlocking tan grain that really shows up when turned at shallow
angles (think platter or shallow bowl). It's a very fine herringbone sort
of pattern (think fine lace or partridge breast plumage) that is both
subtle at first glance but very pronounced on closer examination.

Sounds _very_ much like the characteristics of American elm, with the
exception of the color, which in that species is kind of a pale
yellowish color. It has a beautiful chatoyance with sanded and
finished and is very split-resistant.
