Woods on this BSR5P

Just got this fretless BSR5P couple of weeks ago. No words to describe the feel and tone out of this thing, really incredible.
Woods are Cocobolo top & back over mahogany core with maple strips.
I'm not sure about the center block though, looks walnut to me. Am I right?

Yes, walnut center but, show the core.

Core

BTW, the grain on that particular cocobolo is very dense and straight, not like most that I've seen.

Yes, the core is mahogany. Sometimes we use walnut for the core as well. I just wanted to make sure. Also, tighter grain wood like this is slightly more dense.
