I’m sorry if I sound annoying but I am trying to find out as much as I can about my new set. Based on all the pictures, does it look like it’s an Agathis board? Curious, can you tell what kind of wood is used for the bowls? I really enjoy the set, I’m just stumped on how to get more information about it. Thanks to you all for making comments
As you have experienced so far, the best anyone can do by looking at photos is make a guess. The larger question for me is, if you want the set, why do you care what the woods really are? Everything looks great. Buy it and enjoy it and maybe after The MAdness has passed you ca take it around to some clubs and see if anyone can identify the species for you with certainty.
See my post “Stone Soup” for a selection of different bowl species. Maybe by comparison, or by asking your seller to look at that link, you could eliminate some possible species. Big issue with bowls, though, is sometimes they are waxed, sometimes stained. Stained chestnut (kuri) always looks like chestnut but stained kaya (Now, what muttonhead would stain kaya?) could be many other woods.
