Left is Wenge with some yellow species of wood from Asia(I think?) idk I found it in the splinebrary (Which is just a bucket in my shop right now, but one day it will be something beautiful too).
Right is walnut and purple heart with a strip of either Padauk or bloodwood for shits and gigs.
Left is my favorite. I got more and more excited to turn it as I glued up the blank like 3 or 4 times.
Absolutely gorgeous!
I agree, the left is the coolest looking, but the right is amazing still!
