trying to identify piece of wood
I may have mentioned that my dad had a shop when I was a tyke. He sold a wide
variety of hardwoods, many of which might no longer even be easily available. Some of the countries of origin may have either been absorbed by another country or changed their names or political arrangements. I digress. Some of the samples were well labeled, most others less so. The piece in question has a penciled in name, but not very easily readable. I have my own take on what the name may be, "jiquin" but is not useful to me. I tried a google search but did not get useful information on a possible kind of hardwood. I'm appealing to the collective here, in hopes of finding a name for this mystery wood. Two images are posted on Flickr for your examination. If you have the time and the inclination, I'd appreciate your input. Thank you. tom koehler http://www.flickr.com/photos/55616gandy/ -- I will find a way or make one. |
