Beautiful. What is the name of that last one? Kinda reminds me of a Birch, with that silver/grey bark.

Wow, you always impress me! We have 3 carved wooden tables in our bedroom from India. Dark like a mahogany, but don't think that is it. 1 day, when I have the time, I'd like to find out the type of wood used. Any way, have various mix's of dark and medium woods throughout...would probably drive an interior decorator nuts, not matchy-matchy, but blends well enough to make it interesting, IMHO. Just odds and ends accumulated/passed through family... to roadside finds. Amazing what folks will throw out in order to redecorate.

That is not only a chair, it's a piece of art and starter of conversations. Huge! Yellow/amber color? Is this made from the Jimelina? Curious.

Its more red brown in real life. its Mahogany.

Jimalina is lighter in color and in weight. It has great anti termite properties, We use it for furniture and window and door frames.
