Unknown timber

(1/1)

Linus:
Hi all any help much appreciated.  Rubbing down an old desk but not a clue what wood it is. Any of you sage and knowledgable  gentlemen/ladies out there able to give me clue as to what species it may be?

seventhdevil:
looks like a piece of genuine mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) but i'd need a close up of the endgrain to be sure.

Looks like the stuff we used to turn at school before it became listed. Makes me sneeze.

Linus:
Thanks Guys

Looking at the wood database it seems a good bet.

Regards

Lyn
