Looks Like .................
Walnut to me. It is a very heavy and dense wood.
This wood was given to me at last weeks gun show and the guy didn't know what type of wood it is.
I used a piece on this Gun Metal Bolt Action that I plan to give him at the next gun show for the wood he gave me.
Sanded to 400X, buffed with extra fine steel wool, sealed with 4 costs of Thin CA, buffed with extra fine steel wool,
applied 6 coats of MINWAX WBOM Polyurethane using my "Dipping Method", buffed with extra fine steel wool and polished with Huts Ultra Gloss.

Les very nice finish. Do you have problems with the WOP darkening or yellowing? I have been using Minwax WOP since 2007 on my spin tops and have noticed distinct yellowing even though some have been in storage and not exposed to light.

looks good regardless of the type of wood, the darker lines add some character
