That looking Sophora japonica to me.






It is less dense than BL. Much less.... :-\

Bowyers like to use here for glass laminate core. It has nice colors. Dark lines in the early-late border.

There are very tight rings wit lot of early wood on the first pics, thats not good.

I use it for gripps only, but ve never gave it a try (it faild on my fingernail test :) ). I would try to sell those for laminated bows....
