ok, beings how ya bought them from ocooch, i think that narrows down the choices to what they sell. exotic #5 is probably yellowheart.

#1 of the exotics i doubt is walnut as that is a domestic.im still leaning towards bubinga on 1 and 6

in the domestics, you may have a piece of alder in there-#7. hard telling, but the smell can determine,too- cherry and alder have different smells.cherry burns pretty easy when machining,too.

you can also do the taste test. :)

1 and 6 could be Bubinga. I had a board that color exactly and I am trying to remember what it was. Being reddish I chose rosewood because I use them alot but have also used bubinga too so it is possible because that company does not sell rosewoods.  Bubinga is referred to as African Rosewood so it is in the rosewood family. As far as yellowheart, that is one wood that is hard to mistake, it is yellow.

I have to post this. I just received my shipment of woods from Ocooch Hardwoods. When I place my order I asked them if it wouldn't be too much trouble if they would include a list of what woods they were sending. They not only did what I asked, they took the time to actually label each piece as to what it is. Not every piece actually but I am now able to compare the none labeled pieces to the ones with labels. This is a first class operation. I will be buying from them again. I highly recommend this company. Thanks to the OP who originally spoke of them.

I actually got the idea after reading how much trouble you were having in identifying what you got. They didn't have any exotics when I ordered so all this stuff is domestic. But, it sure is nice knowing what they all are. I have never even seen alder before but now I have a bunch of it. Nice stuff too.
