Wood identification help

[NOTW]

Grabbed this piece of wood that I've had for a while in a pile I thought was all Mahogany but when I cut it it doesn't look like the rest of the mahogany I have. Any ideas on what it is?

first glance, I'm thinking sapele, which is close to mahogany.

 

[creasman]

Ipe is my guess. If so, will be VERY hard.

second for Sapele.

 

[wbarnes]

+1 for sapele

 

[NOTW]

seems like Sapele is the consensus, Thanks everyone!

I'm gonna go with Purpleheart. Based on this picture.

The first photo made me think Purpleheart but the last looks like Sapele. Is there some purple tint to the fresh cut or is it a photographic artifact. I must say this may be the first Wood ID post that has good photos. Well done.

Purpleheart

Doubt this is sapele. The grain is wrong and sapele usually does not splinter like shown in the endgrain pics. This is most probably purpleheart which is very splintery.

End grain looks like Brazilian Cherry. Other views look like eucalyptus.

Based on end and face grain, looks like Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) to me. If so, it will be dense/heavy and will dull your tools quickly. Very durable and a great outdoor wood, but I’ve found it hard on tools.
