Very hard to say .... "could be" Cocobolo .... "could be" Padauk .... "could be" .... ???

I would also say Coco.

Might be Cocobolo—did it have a very earthy smell when turning?

i was thinking cocobolo but was not sure,as far as smell,with my allergies I have to ask what smell. Thanks

If you have allergies, stay away from Cocobolo. It is extremely hyperallergenic. It is a beautiful wood to be sure, however, it can be extremely dangerous without proper precautions. I know from experience.

Sure looks like cocobolo , but I agree with Burlman , take extreme precautions .

I just turned a cocobolo bottle stopper and developed a rash on my left arm. Better not be a contact dermatitis to coco because its my favorite wood. I'm hoping its just that I was a little sloppy with the urushi lacquer I've been experimenting with.
