he said the color is natural.

Missed that. Dang! Thanks Eamon, in that case I know its not possible but I am changing to birch grown in Southern Utah so it absorbed all the iron from the sand and made it red. :scratchhead:

Maple burl?

 

[JohnnyChance]

I'm going with Willow wood. Random but possible.

I am guessing Willow.

bcrano, I know you hope it's willow and Mark saves a piece for you! It was my initial thought as well. But maybe because I have it on the brain as my newest knife is sporting a diamond willow handle.

My best guess would be redwood burl. That stuff seems to be able to take on any colour and structure.
Thanks for the chance, Mark and good luck ye'all.
