Tonight i made up a trio of blanks ready for the weekend, the blanks came from Turners Retreat a few years ago .. They had some initials wrote on them, i could identify two of them but one i seem to be struggling with. It has the look and feel of Amboyna, but the initials are ... TMBPB any thoughts as to what this is? :thinks:

Just to add the other two were easy to identify ..

RMPB .. Red Mallee Pen Blank
BMPB .. Brown Mallee Pen Blank

TMBPB .. Sumat Sumat maybe Burr Pen Blank ????

Identifying wood from a picture is hard enough!
Identifying wood without one is purely ridiculous!:face:
