could some one please ID this piece of lumber. I have the chance to get alot of cutoffs of hardwood flooring for free! The wood is wery hard, open pours and smells of hot chocolate when it is cut. Thanks for the help!
Yes on Wenge and yes on the splinter by just looking at it part. Also said splinter will almost undoubtably become infected. But you are right it does smell good when cut.
And yes! If you can get it free take as much as you can load!!!
Thanks for the replies, It seems that is is the inverse of stumpynubs picture. There seems to be more light than dark grain. And I did get a splinter already! Richgeer-there is no red hue at all. Here's a little better pic close up
Turn the flash off when taking the picture!!!!!!!!
Jatoba is red, the dark grain is no where near as visible in it.
Wenge would be mostly black grain, with dark grey to light black.
Purple heart would be purplish in color (hence the name lol) with the black grain.
There are a couple others I can't think of the names of right now, but from these pictures, I'm gonna lean towards wenge.
David, that's a stained picture of wenge, as there is no red to it.
Sorry Tbone74 but couldnt help smiling at your comment!
Glad you got it figured out. And I hope you got a bunch of that free wood. Wenge is fantastic for accent and finishes beautifully.
