Weight and dimension on this piece might help put it in a category.

Just a guess - the interlocked grain kinda reminds me of African Mahogany. The pores look pretty large though in comparing with the Wood database website. The weight on yours (3.2 lb/bf) is in the ballpark for African Mahogany (2.9 lb/bf).

That looks like it could be Cordyla africana from the side grain. African wild mango is the common name I know it by.

I believe that wood reacts to blacklight. Also think it has more pore banding.

Never saw your tag John. There were a few weeks the tag process was not working for me. Sorry.

Dan, assume some sort of flooring? Looked rough like cumaru but end grain looked off. End grain and rough texture are common for Koompassia malaccensis, Kempass.
