Phoebe zhennan - Golden nanmu/phoebe nanmu?

[Jperry93]

Hi Folks!
Not so much an ID more a call for any experiences or thoughts.. I recently read about Phoebe zhennan and its piqued my interest. I have never ever seen it for sale anywhere, and I doubt I ever will! From what I can find, it seems quite low density, and easy to work, but supposedly is incredibly durable!
Has anyone here ever worked with it/had it/even seen it?

We have at least one member in Taiwan who had a piece he was showing off. It was atypical. Don't know if we have a picture of typical or not on this site. The wood does have a small online sales presence.
If you punch it into the search bar (magnifying glass at the top right) you should find at least Byron's piece.

Thanks! I did have a bit of a look, and saw the pieces you are referring to! Interestingly, looks a bit different to the pieces I have seen online, but I wonder if thats a regional thing? What I have seen online does look more yellow/gold but that might just be some clever filters

I believe @Byron Barker said his was a piece with unusual coloring, that he hadn't seen that coloration before either. It's called golden but a fair amount of the pieces I have looked at online has a dark streak in it. And the products made from it tend to have some dark pieces as well
