ITANNIN

botanical name unknown
This wood was sold to me under the common name itannin, but I cannot find that name in any reference and I have no clue what species it is. The only other image I could find was copied from this page, so no help there.

my samples: NOTE: these pics were all taken in very bright incandescent lighting ("soft white" at 2700K) colors will vary under other lighting conditions

end grain closeups of the pieces directly above --- the pics are too gray, should be more brown
