Not much use saying pine,maple or even mahagony. George is right to go with the latin name. Pine can be anything. So can maple. Real mahogany [cuban -- Swietenia mahagoni I think that's the right one] has been basically extinct for something like 50 years. At least in commerical amounts. The stuff called mahogany today can be almost anything. All the way to Luan. Common names don't mean much.
Just a guess by looking at the front standard's rail, it doesn't look like it can be folded up with a lens attached. I think that is a negative for a field camera.
The only trouble with doin' nothing is you can't tell when you get caught up
Kerry, I'm just reporting what the web site says, without any editorializing.
But you're correct, it doesn't look like black walnut to me either. It could very well be Woodiness Sncheider, but I have never seen wood from that tree so I don't know what it looks like :-)
Maybe they are using ash.
