    How real is the colour? Looks like you have been playing with the yellows

    How heavy is it?

    Looks a bit like Mango to me, colour can vary quite a bit

    I used a flash it looks slightly more yellow than what it really is.
    Weight wise, for its size it's light.
    I'll look through pics of mango see if there is a slight resemblemance.
    Thanks

    I'm guessing mango, too - given the flash has made it yellower than normal.

    Default hoop pine?

    Could be hoop pine, grain structure and small knots and colour is similar to large ones I've seen
