Some more wood to ID

[David Mary]

Good evening friends, if you’d be so kind as to lend your experience, I have these woods in my shop but I don’t know what they are. Thank you for any assistance you can provide!

I’m heading to bed, but I’ll take a closer look tomorrow.

With a cursory look…. I think number one looks like a claro walnut, or a similar species to me.

Number two also looks like a walnut species to me, but maybe black walnut, rather than claro.

Three looks like white oak, or something similar.

Not sure about four. The pores look similar to a rosewood, but I think it looks more like black locust.

Not sure about five either. It looks like it could be a number of different woods to me.

1 and 2 look like walnut
3 looks like beech
4 looks like some sort of mahagony or sapelle
5 i thougth it was purpleheart, but from the cross cut it looks denser, some type of rosewood

I agree with Fredde, 3=beech

5 i thougth it was purpleheart, but from the cross cut it looks denser, some type of rosewood

Good guesses. I think 4 is Oak.

 

[FredyCro]

I would also say that the open pores would confirm 1,2 and 4 as above. 5 is potentially cocobolo, you would know if you make a fresh cut and it is purple, white and/or orangish inside.

5 is bloodwood, sci name Brosimum rubescens

Thanks everyone!

2 is almost certainly black walnut and I think 5 could be bloodwood

I use a fair amount of both

I think you are right about this being sapele.



I've had this in the shop for a few years now, it was a gift from Jake CanadianCuttingEdge . Only used it once so far but it came out beautiful.

You can always send samples to the USDA for identification

Nr1. Turkish walnut Nr.2 walnut
I guess you should be able to tell from the smell if you sand them…

I would trust the others opinions of #3 as beech more that my opinion, but I have a lot of curly ash that looks exactly like that except of course mine is extremely curly.

 

[Evan Wilson]

1 is walnut 2 looks like ash 3 i'm sure is red oak 4 i think is maple and 5 is bloodwood

 

[David Mary]

Let's say number 5 is not bloodwood, just for the sake of discussion. What else could it be? The only reason I ask is I have some blood wood that just came in and number 5 looks quite different from it.

Chakte Kok or sometimes called red heart can come in either a redish brown or a brown.if that is it in the 2nd image from the top it looks a bit like iron wood but from the side looks like bloodwood
however I am preaty sure it is bloodwood.
bloodwood likes to brown over time

 

[David Mary]

I'll post pics of it next to the blood wood that came in tomorrow.

Fixall thank you for the reminder.

The four on the bottom are the same piece I posted earlier, cut into scale blanks. Very different from the bloodwood I just got in.

The blood wood up top is likely the sapwood and the lower wood needing Identifying is likely bloodwood the heartwood of the tree known for a blood red color.

Can you provide any info on density and where you got it from? It looks like Tasmanian Myrtle to me, but i don't know how common that is outside of Australia
