Looks to be Walnut

-- Pat - Worker of Wood, Collector of Tools, Father of one

Really? I’ve never been able to afford anything better than pine, oak, and sometimes maple.

Very cool! Thank you!

yep, looks like walnut to me, too. I got some in my upstairs room just waiting until I can get back in my shop that looks just like it. Don’t have as much as you do, though. I would call that a big ol’ gloat!

Have a good’un

I agree with Pat looks like walnut.

I will add in also, It looks like Walnut

if it’s clear, flat and not badly cracked, I’d say its a couple hundred dollars worth of walnut.

Kinda looks like you just got your 6” Jointer for FREE .

Wow – Thank you so much everybody! Yes – I really lucked out!

Yes – it’s straight and flat with no checking. Been drying for 10 years.

I will definitely save the rest for a future project.

Thanks again

It is mahogany or some related mahogany-like tropical hardwood. The striped effect is the result of the interlocked grain that you see in these tropical hardwoods. In a growth year, the woods cells are laid down at a slight angle to vertical. The next year, the angle of the cells is reversed. On the quartersawn face, this difference in the angles of the cells reflect light differently, giving a striped effect.

based off the weight/density comment i’d tend to not think its walnut…that being said I don’t have a better guess

Looks like walnut to me…nice score.

Walnut.

Those pores are really huge. Pores are way too large for walnut. I still say that it is tropical.

Undoubtedly Walnut.

Your right, the pores are bigger/deeper/longer than a ‘typical’ Walnut sample, but I wouldn’t say unusually so.

I need to run by the shop this afternoon, I’ll see if I can snap a few pics that would be comparable.

Hi all!
Thanks for all the input. After being pointed towards walnut, I’ve found enough internet pics to sort of confirm that it is indeed walnut. I’ve found several photos of black walnut that look identical.

Thanks to one and all for your help!
