I think that's bubinga, with a red dye. It's sometimes called waterfall bubinga or African bubinga. It's an expensive veneer, but beautiful. http://www.salksound.com/gallery/Song3/s3-bubinga-cu.jpg http://www.salksound.com/gallery/Song3/s3-bubinga.jpg Another veneer that I think looks somewhat similar is Pelin Burl. Now you're just confusing me. Now that's my favorite veneer. :p
