Canadian Curly Maple

the grain looks like koa, but the color of the one to the left doesn't look right. I don't know if it blacklines like that though.

Spalted Curly KOA

Yes Travis it does. You nailed it. This is spalted curly KOA.... 2thumbs

My crappy pics dont really show the curl very well but they're pretty curly in person.

That's some pretty stuff. The grain was the giveaway. I've kinda got a knack for identifying woods, and for imitating accents too. I wish those were employable skills!

Kampgrounds of America?!? They have their own species of wood?

Just kidding Koa wood is highly valued for musical instruments and those are some nice examples.
