A quick trivet

[Wichman]

I find these small cheese boards occasionally at the local thrift stores.  By the time they've gotten there, they are in sad shape, just a little to warped to use anymore,  so I take them and cut a nice trivet pattern in them. If they're not used as a trivet, they still look good as a decoration. 

Wood: unknown, 1/2"thick

Blades: FD Polar #1

Finish: BLO

Pattern: From the SSV pattern library; Bobscroll:

 

Can anyone tell me what kind of wood this is?

Nice cutting.  Walnut?

Nice work, just recently went through my stash of trivets that I had made over the years and gave some away. 

If I had to guess the wood type since so much is shipped in from China I'd say that looks similar to Acacia wood. My first big job with my laser was engraving 260 cutting boards and they supplied the boards from Hobby Lobby and it was the first time I worked with Acacia wood. Kind of reminds me of working with Mahogany.. May be in the same family as Mahogany for all I know. Can be lots of color variations in it though most of it was a darker tone.
