<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 326813, member: 55&quot;]It looks to have more distinct grain than the ebony with which I am familiar; however there are at least four species of tree that are called ebony; there are around 25 species commonly called ironwood; and many more types of wood that have names which are only used locally.</p><p>If you wanted to try putting it in water that might be diagnostic of the type of wood; ebony and a small number of other woods will sink in water. In short, I can&#039;t definitively ID the wood, but it is a nicely done carving.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
