I have some wood that I'm reclaiming from a piece of furniture that I need help to identify. It's very dense and tight grained. When I clean it with mineral spirits it appears very dark brown, a lot like a teak, darker than the rosewood I've used. When I cut it or sand it, the sawdust produced is a very bright, almost florescent yellowish greenish color. Any ideas what this may be? I'm sorry I didn't think to take a picture of it before leaving home! -Rin

PS. I added some pictures. The dark piece is after cleaning with mineral spirits. You can see the fluorescent yellow/green on a freshly planed piece and on the planer out feed you can see the fluorescent yellow/green sawdust next to a handful of sawdust from a piece of butternut for comparison.
