Ok, for the visual list:

Pau Ferro on my OOO

Alder as a body

Maple on the top side

I tried to make a pic of Wengé, but my camera dropped in one of the pores. Can't find it. Sorry.

I never thought of pore-filling with a camera. Good thinking!! :-)
Thanks for the pix.

Not much for pores in Sapele. Just about the most under rated, under priced wood out there. Sometimes a pain to bend but with the right set up it's excellent wood.

I sure agree that Sapele is a pain to bend especially the figured stuff and underrated too -- but it is very porous just like Mahogany. I've used a lot of it and it all had to be filled. Perhaps your billet was out of the norm?
