Is this a kind of mahogany?
I'm trying to identify this tree, and am asking for your help.
This photo was taking in the US Virgin Islands two weeks ago. The wood is dense and heavy. It is light - sandy colored when cut, and then turns an orange-ish red after oxidation. The buttressed stump brings to mind cypress, but the leaves are oval shaped. If I recall correctly, there are five or so leaves per stem, arranged in a star-like shape. A picture is he http://www.northwindknives.com/images/caneel/wood.jpg and while the image just shows the stump, you can also see the leaves from the suckers coming up next to it. The groundskeeper where this was taken seemed to think it was a screwpine, but from what I can tell of pictures on the Internet, it's not even close. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -=Mark |
