Needing Wood ID Help!!!

[cozee]

I have a few pieces that I need some help identifying.

1. This small piece looks very simialr to some Morado I have.
2. ??
3. Washed out in pic but has very mild greyish flecked looking grain.
4. Kind of looks like a dark cedar but no smell as such.
5. ??
6. When wetted it looks similar to Cocobolo but coloring is more dark brown/black then the coco I have. It is not near as oily as coco either.
7. Nice brown grain on whish yellow.
8. Orangish Bloodwood?? Redheart??
9. About the same as #6 with a more active grain.
10. ??
11. ??
12. Looks like some type of walnut.
13. ? but a beatiful x-cut.

I'll try to a better picture, at least of the lighter woods that washed out.

9 Desert Ironwood

No idea on the rest.

There is quite a big difference in color of the two pics. #1 does look like morado (aka pau ferro aka bolivian rosewood) and #6 looks a lot like coco. #9 looks like coco in the first pic. but not in the second. But it's really hard to say without being able to feel and smell them. Several woods have very distinct odors when cut.

In the first picture Iwould guess
6 cocbolo
9bocote
8 paduk
11 a bad example of flaming box elder
12 could be a nice walnut or claro walnut even better
5 yellow heart
if 3 is very soft aspen but a chance for holly
In truth without seeinf these in person it's hard to tell.

And lastly here is a scanned pic.

OK...I take back all my guesses []

 

[cozee]

Thanks guys for the help. I do understand that pictures do fall short in soldifying and ID but at least I can get an idea of what they may or may not be. Besides, up till a few months ago, to me wood was wood. So right now, your guesses are better than my "this is"!!!!![][8D]

 

[ctEaglesc]

based on color and grain #3 ash
#4 mahogany

 

[beamer]

the 3rd pic makes me think #2 might be beech ... the flecks might be a little small, though.

Hey cozee .... number 5 looks like that piece of "stink wood" that Skye enjoyed turning so much. (see Skye's thread about the blanks I gave him). Scratch it a little ... does it smell?

Forgot to ask in the last post .... did you happen, by any chance, to get those blanks from the guy in ebay who says he "found a box of blanks on a shelf in his store room ... that has been setting back there for years?" And, he doesn't know what they are? Just curious. I bought one of those boxes about a year ago. Several of the blanks in your picture look like some of the ones in that box.

If I'm looking at these right...
4. is sapodilla
5. is spanish cedar
2. is elm
3. is palo de vaca (it has some grey swirly lines inthe grain right?)
6. is chechen heartwood
8. is redheart, your flash in the first pcture makes it look a little orange?
1. is a cocobolo


13. is PROBABLY some of the plain bocote
12. is probably Tzalam, also known as mayan walnut


Not sure about 10 and 11, check them for very thin grey lines, that would be palo de vaca

I need another veiw of #9 first it looks like cocobolo, then granadillo, then bubinga

this is from an unlabelled pack?

 

[cozee]

Nope, not "stink wood"!!!! and not from ebay. Just some extras that I thought i would try and see if I could find a name for them. Well, more proper names anyway!![8D]

 

[chitswood]

Oh, 10 and 11 could also be cottonwood.

Thanks for posting this, its fun trying to identify these[}]

 

[chitswood]

Looking at your scanned pic again, I don't think 3 is palo de vaca, still not sure about 10 or 11

if you could get a picture of the blanks rotated on another side I could probably get those last few...unless they are some really far out strange blanks.

1) Looks identical to the Morado I have as well.
2) Looks like american (black) cherry or perhaps beech, the beech has obvious flitches and cherry doesn't, that may help.

3) Holly?

4) Beech? Resembles some of what I have, it varies some.

5) Honduran mahogany-- is it as yellow in pic 1 in real life? HM isn't yellow but the other two photos look like it.

7) Looks like southern magnolia to me.

8) Pretty sure that's redheart

9) Looks a lot like bocote. Nice blank.

not a clue on the rest.
