Very nice indeed. I would also like to know the wood.

The thumbnails at first looked almost like a strawberry milkshake in an old fashioned glass.

My first thought was red flame box elder, but I think it's cedar.
Very nicely done in either event and a really excellent presentation of the heart/sap woods.
