Coffee wood? I thought coffee was a bush.

Huh. Kentucky coffeetree. https://www.wood-database.com/coffeetree/ learned something new.
Yeah I had never heard of it until one day I went to the mill where I get my stock. He had a pallet of it for a decent price. It is SUPER heavy and dense. Beautiful dark color, though the board I got also has a considerable amount of white sapwood.
It’s fluorescent! Get a black light OP.
