sport29652 Posted January 9, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) The three yellow figured pieces of wood on the left. I placed A piece of yellow heart next to them on the right to maybe help? The figured wood has a very tight grain, almost no visible pores, where the yellow heart has easily noticed open pores. The mystery wood is also noticeably heavier/denser. I would love any help that could be provided.

CharlieZardoz Posted January 9, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Maybe Tanganyika/Anigre? Edited January 9, 2015 by CharlieZardoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwboland Posted January 9, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Could be maple as well. Grain looks about right, but it's the wrong color Edited January 9, 2015 by cwboland justsayrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted January 9, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 9, 2015 Could be pau marfim..... CharlieZardoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASAT Posted January 9, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I agree, could be Pau Marfim, also with the higher figure it looks like it could be a type of satinwood, maybe this? http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/movingui/ but I dont think that would be that much denser than the Yellowheart, If it is East Indian Satinwood that would account for the density and very tight grain and figure but that stuff is pretty rare and very $$$$$ - cool if it is that. In any case I use that database to ID and research a lot of woods, they also have a good article on satinwoods Lou Edited January 9, 2015 by ASAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sport29652 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted January 9, 2015 So far figured pau marfim seems to be the closest match. Satinwood looks to have some distinct open grain, so their goes my $$$$$$. This wood is almost like glass. I really appreciate you guys for looking.
