Thanks for the info, rc and lou. from what I see in the picture above my CB must be in sandalwood.
Ari, I doubt that it's sandalwood, as that has been on the CITES endangered species list for several years. Making it illegal to export from India, or import to any country that honors the treaty.

I think that the Sheffield design is older, but maybe both drew on older stuff, anybody can shed some light on this?
The Sheffield Knight reminds me of Rocinante, Don Quixote's steed.
