Need help identifying species of wood.

With that color dust id say Ipe but considering its reclaimed it probably isn’t.

-- Its not a crack, its a casting imperfection.

Any odor to the wood? Heart pine?

It is hard enough to ID wood w/ a photograph and impossible by description.

Put the sawdust in a glass of water. If it dyes the water yellow it is Osage Orange.

EDIT: I think I’m being drawn too much by the fluorescent color. Osage probably isn’t used for furniture and it isn’t very dark.

I agree with Stef. Ipe would be my guess.

I’m with bonds on this one how do you I’d something you cannot see,It’s like asking how long is a string?

It is a tropical hardwood for sure. See the striped lines from the interlocked grain?

So, if you had to describe Ipe, what would you look for?

Now I see the pic, is the furniture from crate and barrel or pottery barn?If so then my guess is rubber wood,from Indonesia.Aj

-- Aj

It is definitely not rubber wood. It does have all of the characteristics of ipe. Using the info you all provided I went to http://www.wood-database.com. Actually, I found that site after Googling ipe because I didn’t know what that was.

Thanks for your help!

Ipe is sold as “Brazilian Walnut” by the wood flooring stores.
