Hi Dusty,
Just guessing it looks like brazillian cherry to me.

It looks like “very nice grain and color” wood. Nice job.

not sure myself, but I’m not a wood spec. But I know what I like and I like this shape and finish of this bowl/dish.

Not sure about the wood, but I’d say it is the nicest coaster I’ve ever seen. :-)
