Not upset, the guy likely assumed as I did (he bought it 26 years ago), and the technical specs are pretty close to black walnut. Dracontomelon Dao is the scientific name. I think it's a beautiful timber so wanted to share.
On this one I measured how many hours it took, so I could test the viability as a future career. It was about 60 hours. Yeesh. Anyway, I am pretty happy overall with how it turned out.…
Made from white oak I milled myself, had to buy the black walnut. Rustic features for some enhanced look. Procrastination made it take 4 months, even if it took 2 weeks of actual time.
