Does the wood have small holes, about 1/4 of a inch, running throughout the piece? If it does then it may be ambrosia. If not then it's definitely spalted.... maple? If it's spalted then it's a great find and much sought after type of wood due to it's grain color. Your tiki is coming along great and has a nice outline. Leave the sanding and detail to the last though. Keep up the great work and look forward to it being finished.

IF you post a pic of the leaf then we will definitely know what type of tree it is.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything
