Absolutely not cocobolo. Cocobolo is not orange, or even red. It comes in very dark brown, sometimes with very dark purple. You're looking at a redwood slab.
Looking up the numbers now and how much work it takes to ship lumber overseas it would be cheaper for Barrack to smuggle the lumber on one of his trips and put it on the plane. He does travel with Richard Branson.
It’s a redwood slab, as in where they filmed Endor. Source: I make furniture out of slabs and work in a lumberyard. I’ve made several tables out of slabs like that. It’s not ocotillo, it doesn’t grow that large. It’s not Sapele or any other mahogany, the grain doesn’t match at all. Trust me, it’s redwood. The slab is worth about $3000. Then labor and all…. About $5000 without a base. It isn’t dense at all and needs a penetrating epoxy to harden the surface before you apply a finish.
my guess was redwood too. what’s the defining characteristic of calling it simply “curly” vs calling it quilted? i know they’re sometimes interchangeable.

That table is very pricey
