Anyone know what species of wood this?  Given to me by a fellow moving.   The dark spot is where I wet it.  Thanks   Eric

No idea on the type of wood but peeing on it seemed to bring out the grain more. 

[Dave Monk]

Could it be mahogany?

 

[Karl S]

Mahogany for sure

 

[dgman]

Yup, looks like Mahogany to me.

[Lucky2]

It could be cherry, I have a lot of cherry veneer that looks just like it.

It is in the Mahagony family. Can be a number of spieces though

My vote is Mahogany.

It is either Sapele or Mahogany.  There are many variations in both but that is what it looks like to me.  With out handling it I can not tell for sure.

Thanks y'all.   I will look at the various species of mahogany to see it I can find more.  Beautiful grain. 

Again, thanks

Yep either Sapele or Mahogany.  They are very similar.  There are several species of Mahogany.  But they all look pretty much the same.

Nay, Roly M-a-h-o-n-g-a-n-y.  Now watch me be embarrassed!

Coconut veneer at a guess but if I was pushed I would say sapele but what do I know most of my cuts are on vinyl lol 

[Chunkthekid]

I was going to say mahogany but it looks like everyone else already did.

[tonylumps]

If it is light in weight it could be butternut

[Karl S]

Could be poplar, but it's Mahogany
