Help with Wood Identification

[Timber Ripper]

I found a few pieces of this wood in a box of unlabeled random wood. Anyone have a clue? When drilling, it had a familiar smell. Maybe cocobolo?

Possibly Cocobolo or desert Ironwood.

Mark's suggestions would also be mine.

Altho' I am inclined to lean towards desert ironwood based on the prominent grain pattern and the two shades of color.

Cocobolo, in my experience, is overall darker and more uniform in color with less prominence of the grain.

I vote for ironwood also.

Could easily be tigerwood; I have some sitting in my shop which looks like this.
Here's a pic from Advantage:

If it stinks when you turn, it would suggest Ironwood.
There are many other Woods it could be such as madrone, acacia, Texas ebony.
Best to categorize it as "looks like" rather than is.

It could be Kingwood but if it is it's pretty light color.

It looks almost exactly like Goncalo Alves...

 

[cmiller]

I would guess Goncalo Alves as well. Or maybe zebrawood?

Goncalo Alves is also called Tigerwood.

It looks almost exactly like Goncalo Alves...
