Curly Koa or Curly Mahogany

[Rich Middendorf]

I need help with identifying this wood. This is a 1927ish Supertone I rehabbed five or so years ago. I always assumed it was mahagony. But the more I look at it, I'm not so sure. The original finish is dark so it isn't easy to see the grain. It's a beautiful little instrument that is loud and has a big bottom for such a small guitar. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Somehow the first Kumalae picture didn't go through.  Here it is.
