The general consensus is it's "Brazilian Mystery Wood", which is a close cousin to balsa.

I agree with your assessment on the OP's job. I like how his rifle furniture much better matches his sidearms' grip panels, regardless of color.

Hope you're all having a good Memorial Day. The Confederate Air Force just flew directly over LAX and since we're about one mile north of das flugplatz, we got to first HEAR the great sound of air-cooled, four-stroke radial engines in the form of a few T-6s but to my surprise! about 7 or 8 DC-3! followed by a lone P-51 with it's distinct V12 blatting across the sky.

I was gonna say "Ply", but we'll go with balsa.

Isn't that one of the greatest sights/sounds to be seen?......Truly awesome!
My father was a kid working in a munitions plant somewhere in that area during WW2, and on his day off would hang out at some airfield hoping to hitch a ride on something military.
