Dyed Roller Ball Crosscut bloodwood with yellowheart bands

Crosscut bloodwood with yellowheart bands dress this handsome pair

but well worth the effort

but leaves a glow where the end grain passes--so it's worth the effort

Like most of our rollers

Dyed Roller Ball Crosscut bloodwood with yellowheart bandsI have come to know a lot of woods, and we have a pretty good variety in house. But every now and then I buy a variety box and there is something in it I can't identify. This is one of those. We ran a pink dye through it and it took a coral cast. If you can tell what the wood is let me know as I'd like to get more (though it was a tricky turn!!) Gold roller ball hardware makes a nice match.
