Katalox (Swartzia cubensis) burl---is this another super rare burl?

[BoonareeBurl]

Only provenance I get provided usually is what someone in Laos called. My crate of mun had black &white and a couple others in.
My opinion only. Unless you get it it'd. Provenance on many woods is an illusion. 10,000 commercially viable woods and 40,000 obscure. He who can I'd all please chime in.

I agree that ID can be really tough, even for experts.

Let's see if anyone chimes in though.

The left most striker is katalox..."supposedly". I will say its dense and heavy. Can't even remember where I got the spindles from. It does make a jam up striker for pot calls.

I have katalox that is almost black. Purple and tan. A 3 cut the same and smelled same.

Burl ID is much worse.
I will keep them. I need another nice pen and nice grips.

Somehow I missed this message.

Okay, let me know if you change your mind. I'm still interested, but I'd probably add it to my collection as an unknown burl.

Thanks, Mike!
