Apologies. In all my typical bluster I spouted opinion as fact. I came
across a pile o' Walnut in the shop last night and sanded down a piece
and layed some lacquer on it. I was still wondering why so many thought
your pics were Walnut. I hate admitting when I'm wrong but I think I
was. I am right now however!

I agree with the others that say Walnut. The damned stuff has dashes
just like Mahog.
