what type of wood is this?
Anyone know what this might be? Ranges from black to grey and yellowish, some brownish red hues as well. I was thinking mahogany but isn't that more overall redish?
Some sticks are really dark and then fade into these lighter colors abruptly.

Well, goncalo alves is called zebrawood or tigerwood. I'm leaning torward that. I just found a really nice fingered stick in my pile. Probably going to cut a bunch up for fretboards. As soon as I get my saw I will offer you guys some if any are interested. Charge for my time and shipping. We can work out a price. Let me know.

Hard to identify wood in the rough, if you can plane some down it might help. My guess is they are walnut cut-offs, the light wood is sap wood.

Yeah possible, but I've never seen walnut with this type of striping. I'll try to get a better pic tonight. It also doesn't smell like walnut when cut. Walnut has that distinct bitter aroma.
