That looks lovely mate. That Okume (spelling?) body looks like a lighter version of Mahogany!

Okoume (Aucoumea klaineana)

Common Name(s): Okoume, gabon

Scientific Name: Aucoumea klaineana

Distribution: Central Africa (primarily Gabon)

The grain patterns can bear a resemblance to mahogany, and one of okoume’s lesser-used commercial names is Gaboon mahogany, though it bears no relation to either .... species is not listed in the CITES Appendices ..... Sometimes simply called gabon or gaboon (not to be confused with Gaboon ebony), the wood is commercially important in the country of Gabon, where it’s the principle timber species.
