Nice work Anthony.

Did the craftsman name the wood?

It looks very much like silky oak to me.

Thanks Anthony.

This wood of yours does not look at all like what I know as Kayu Macan (Tiger Wood). Maybe there are different woods that have the same name.

As soon as I get a chance I'll post a pic of Silky Oak --- got a heap of the stuff around here.
