Hello woodahollics,
This is a close shot of the side.
I got this years ago from LMI on special and have long ago taken the sticker off that identified it. Another clue is that it smells like olives when cut or sanded.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Wade

Dave B, Yes, that sounds familiar. I believe it is Palo Escrito rosewood. Thanks so much. Where do I send the Tub-O-Lard? Wade |

Here is a shot of the back from the same set. 
Hey John and Peter, Does your wood smell like olives when you sand it? This stuff has that smell when worked. Thanks guys. Wade |

I'm 98% sure this is Palo Escrito -also known as Rosa Escrito. We get a lot of it here. -Chris, LMI |
