I bought this piece of wood the other day labeled as blood wood, but it is not like any I have seen. What else could it be? In the Last Picture the bottom Red board IS Bloodwood.

Nope not Sapele, that is brownish. I have 2 different sources of it. This is redish orange with highlights of yellow. looks like maybe some really awesome canary wood but the grain is differnent. The 3rd Picture is Dark.

Looking at the last picture with both boards, The board thats not Bloodwood looks like some blanks someone sent me labeled IPE. When I compared it to other blanks I had, it looked more like some bubinga blanks I had. So I'm basically no help...Sorry
