Hi Boris;

It looks like Wenge. But, I’m only about 99% sure about it.

Here’s a picture of a table we did using it. http://www.prowoodworkingtips.com/images/Opened-Conference-Table.gif

There are a set of Library steps on this page, done with it as well.

I am not even sure!

I cast my vote for Wenge

-- "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson

I’ll add my vote for wenge too, although I;m far from positive.

Whatever it is, it looks like a crotch grain and it’s beautiful. I ca see it resawn into 4 sheets and quad matched on the headboard of a high end bed.

It does look like Wenge or maybe Cocobolo to my eye.

-- Hey, woodworking ain't brain surgery. Just do something and keep trying till you get it. Doc

thank you, for help me

a friend gave it to me

It looks a little brown to me to be wenge. Give us a density on it.

It looks like Wenge to me. I’ve worked with both Chechen and Cocobolo and in my experience they are both much more colorfull woods than that.

Looks exactly like a piece of Wenge I have, and the fact that a relatively small board is so heavy seals it for me!
