Janello Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was hoping for cherry. Anyone care to guess what I actually got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Looks like the resin impregnated Dymondwood stuff . Maybe it's a new color ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janello Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Could be, but all of the pics of the dymondwood that I have seen are a bit darker. I guess the second half of my question is, should I let it fly on the bench with the cherry secondary wood, or return it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 As much as I wish my bench was built totally out of cocobolo...it isn't. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm wondering how you got those. Someone at Bench Crafted must've found a box of old style knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocobolo was my guess. I think I may just let it fly, since my shop already looks like a kids coloring book. Wait, is there a subliminal message in there somewhere, Eric? Just guessing.

Eric. Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just now, Janello said: Cocobolo was my guess. I think I may just let it fly, since my shop already looks like aa kids coloring book. Yours isn't cocobolo...they stopped using it. But mine is, and my point is who cares? My bench is soft maple, hard maple, curly maple, walnut and sapele. Oh, and cocobolo on the knobs. Jimmy crack corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janello Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Cool, I can always count on you to feel good about doing the wrong thing. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 It may be cocobolo I guess, if like Tom said, they found some new old stock. But it doesn't look much like cocobolo to me. But I'm not sure what else they've used besides cherry and whatever that dymondwood stuff is. So maybe it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janello Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm going to call it cherrycoladymondola and keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's clearly unsteamed walnut. Don't let Ol' Banana Bench Eric tell you otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
