luvdunhill Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Well, I have a funny story about this "African Palisander". If you Google it, you'll find that no one sells it, and you'll see that many high end game boards use it. So, I called one of the big importer and chatted them about it, and they said that this wood comes from Congo and is also known as "Palisander du Congo". Anyways, according to the person I talked to, it's the same as Wenge. I sent them a few pics as well and they confirmed. So, that begs the question, what sayeth Dr. Wood about these same pics of "African Palisander"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 If that's African Palisander it's more like the Wenge I've seen than E.I. Rosewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewood. yeah, that's what I was confused about as well.. anyways, I've probably already tempted the fates enough making a smart ass comment, so I'll go and burn lesser woods in a sacrifice to make amends.

morphsci Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 You've obviously not dealt with various DOE offices. Speaking of which, I have to call one this week. Heh. Being on hold is usually the highlight of the entire conversation for me. (Though I am not sure we are talking about the same DOE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Department of Education. I once had a MA DOE office hang up on me after being on hold for close to an hour (I usually put the phone on speaker phone while I get other work done). They've gone through downsizing like most other offices/businesses and that hasn't helped the matter either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do not clear their messages and their voice mail is full. No replies to email. You have to hunt them down and make a day out of it in my multiple experiences.
