Can you tell what it is?

July 10, 2007 in Wooden Paddle Oddessy, General Ramblings

According to Wikipedia “Sapele, Sapelli or Aboudikro (Entandrophragma cylindricum) is a large tree, up to 45 m high (rarely 60 m), native to tropical Africa.” I have just bought a nice coloured lump of one of them, hopefully soon it will be a lovely wooden squirt paddle.
