Can anyone name this wood?

Cherry Burl?

-- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane--

Looks a little like Madrone Burl but ti doesn’t have all of the graining. and it looks a little browner than Madrone.

It kind of has the look of the wood to make violin bows out of pernambuco

My guess is mahogany, but not sure.

It looks like some mahogany that I have, but your hint eliminates that choice. Perhaps it is that newly discovered “brunus fiberglassius” recently discovered on Victoria Island. BC. The elusive “fiberglass tree” that Shipwright has been mentioning and has finally found. . . . Ok, I’ll wait for the real answer.

Well Saw4fun beat me to it…but I thought it was bloodwood. Probably not that easy tho, huh?

I may not be seeing the picture right, because it looks like leather to me.
maybe pink ivory?

how long do we have to wait for the answer?

OK, another clue: only available in REALLY thin veneer.
and another, It’s free, not sold anywhere.

Now you’ve really got me reeling. And with my favorite word too… FREE. :)

I was gonna guess some kind of paper, but you can buy that. :(

Madrone seems possible as Karson said, I’ve seen flitches of Madrone that look like that recently at one of my veneer provider’s online inventory, though they are 1/42” which in my book is not “very thin veneer” but standard veneer.

Not bloodwood. Neither pernambuco nor mahogany because the grain here is so thin and these can be worked in solid form. I never worked with pink ivory yet so I can’t say.

If it’s only available in very thin veneer, it’s go to be sh!tty as hell to work with in its solid form.

If it’s not Madrone, moar hintz please Paul?

Dammit, free and not sold anywhere? Holy sh!t I get it: is it some sort of very thin bark?

-- Thomas - There is no such thing as a problem, there only are solutions.

Cambium of some specie which bark is easy to peel. That’s my final answer.
