Hello,
I was hoping to get some help in identifying some wood scraps I got for free. The guy who gave them to me told me the first one was either S.A. Mahogany or Sapele. Some one on another forum told me it looks like Ipe though. It is very heavy and dense, about as heavy as Oak.
I found a few other pieces mixed in that are much softer and lighter, they almost look like cedar to me but I'm new at woodworking so I have no idea. They don't smell like cedar at least.
