Guys, I need some wood ID help! I can identify almost all native Texas woods but I honestly know very little about exotics. I have not paid any attention to most of the exotics since I much prefer local native exotics!
Anyway, an old timer around here gave me a board yesterday. The board is over 50 years old and he seems to think he remembers the person he got it from saying it came from South America. It is pretty hard and heavy but not excessively. The wood is very orange/red. Can you tell me what it is?
Here is a scan of a couple blanks I cut. The dark one has been sprayed with gloss lacquer.
