    Default Help with timber id

    I am trying to identify this timber.

    It teak-like in colour with a fairly straight grain. It planes very well/easily. There is a stamp impressed into the end grain. The impression is a circle with a W inside it followed by BRASIL in large uppercase letters.

    Is it a South American (Brazilian) teak?????

    Thanks John.G

    Yesterday following consultation with a woodwork colleague, we decided it is Brazilian ipe (or walnut) as you suggested.

    I planed a wider face - it's beautiful timber. See photo.

    Now to sell it as it belongs to a friend with a very debilitating health issue. I am helping his family to clear out his workshop gear.

    There are 4 or 5 lengths of about 1.2m long x 60mm thick.
