Made this knife and now I can't remember the name of this wood. If you know of any good databases out there or if you know what wood this is off the top of your head that would be great.

The wood sanded very well, it didn't have pits like walnut does and it shined like it had been finished fith oil after being sanded with 400 grit. It does float in water but just barely.
Hope this is enough info,

I know that it wasn't walnut allthough those do look nice djomla. And that Bolivian rosewood still looks a little different. I guess I'll have to see if I can find a scrap to bring to my hardwood distributer. I would bring the knife to him but I already traded it for a small propane forge.
