What wood is this?

Some unusual wood here?

Oh that's Purdy wood! Or beautious Maximus. Lol

Highly figured wood is often hard to tell.. Maybe curly Cherry with som sapwood. Assuming you mean the back

Is that back Mango? Pete .. same as this stuff

I love mango!!! IMO mango shows more open grain than the sample. Timbuck... I'd love to see that when it sounds like a Ukulele!!!

The back looks like the highly figured acacia you sometimes see marketed as koa from the far east.

The top looks like either ceder or chestnut

But I'm guessing

That top looks like redwood.

Doesn’t look like Mango. Most likely koa... IMO

Yep, that's what I would say also.

Not sure about the back/sides. Sure looks interesting though.

And the answer is: Phu Qoc Island acacia and incense cedar

Well done everyone. Could have been any of those other suggestions.
