Hello, has anybody any ideas, what kind of wood this could be, for sure it is not limba, actually it is quite dense and hard, not like limba, but I have not really an idea...thank you very much for any comments, best regards, Alex

Looks a bit like a 'really' nice set of Osage orange.

thank you for your answer, but i just resawed about a douzen sets of osage orange, and it is not osage orange. This for me unknown stuff has lots of very fine medulary rings, very differnet appearance of osage ornage, only the colour is a bit the same., but thank you anyhow.

for comparison:

Thank you ernie, but it has not the growing rings / growing zones like the mulberry, more not visible grwoing rings, like limba , but way denser and heavier...

Almost looks like a really pale , perfectly quartered African Mahogany or Sapele. Scrape some and tell us what it smells like.

Some kind of mahog.
African?
Definitely not Anegre, Anigre, spelling?
I've got some,
looks like oak.
Want to build with it, but....
Might be too boring.

Use a photo hosting site like Photobucket. Once you upload your pic to that site, copy and paste the img code to your reply here. [:Y:]
