KELOBRA

Enterolobium cyclocarpum



my samples:


both sides of a sample plank of guanacaste / Enterolobium cyclocarpum --- the difference in darkness of the color on the two sides is correctly represented


end grain and end grain closeup of the piece directly above


sample plank and end grain ... this was sold to me as perota / Enterolobium cyclocarpum


end grain closeup of the piece directly above


veneer --- although this does not look like the web pics below, I have it from one of my correspondants, and from a partial web picture on a marquetry site, that this is kelobra.


another veneer small piece of veneer from another lot. It was not identified but is clearly the same as my previous sample, so again, I'm calling it kelobra.


web pics


plank --- this picture as posted on the web is on the left and on the right is my attempt to make it a more likely color and to show the grain.

more planks from the same vendor as the pair directly above. These are also quite large.



all from the BogusColorVendor, so the colors are highly suspect:
