[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 4384010, member: 55"]Also noting that Mawi is the name of a particular beach in Bali; so it may indicate the location purchased rather than the carver. The wood grain looks a lot like spalting, a marking caused in fallen wood by a fungus. If it had been made in the USA I'd likely guess it to be spalted birch or spalted alder.
