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. http://www.prowoodworkingtips.com/Braggin'_Board.html Lee -- by Lee A.

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. -- The nicer the nice, the higher the price! |

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 |

It looks a little brown to me to be wenge. Give us a density on it. -- Matt, The Cabinet Bumper Store - http://www.AnyBumper.com - Use Promo Code: LJ2017 for 10% OFF |

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. -- Don - I wood work if I could. Redmond WA. |

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

Wenge -- Don, Pittsburgh |
