A couple people thought it is Ipe, but I compared to other Ipe I have which has much more pore density in the end grain and the classic yellow powdery stuff.
It's very dense. First and fourth pics are edge grain.
Any guesses? It was near a pile labeled Rosewood, but this piece bad a big "?" labeled on it.
Editing my answer… I've never worked with cocobolo, and I would have guessed jatoba, but after seeing some pics of cocobolo online with a similar dark/variation I'd agree with that thought.
Have also had 'spicy' scent from Pau Ferro?
The sap wood I had didn't have same yellow contrast as in pictures though. It's a Rosewood look a like, sold as Santos Rosewood sometimes. https://www.wood-database.com/pau-ferro/
I finally made something with this wood, and I'm starting to wonder if it is actually Kingswood. Just lacquer applied. Also might be riff sawn…hard to tell since there are not really any rings in the end grain
Looking at the splines in the lower picture reminds me of a football and i keep thinking "Go deep!"
