Wood Identification Please

[DavidRa]

Came across this when clearing out my Dads garage. It is about 25mm thick 160 wide and was t&g’d. Possibly a floorboard off cut. Going to turn it into a keepsake box , or something, but would like to know what wood it is. Doesn’t feel particularly heavy. Tia.

Iroko.

Iroko, which is usually a little yellower when freshly machined, or possibly Teak, which would be fairly heavy though.

Not Oak , I'd say Iroko as the others have suggested.

Iroko. Use extraction with power tools as the dust floats like pepper in the air. It also likes to tighten up when cutting due to twisted grain so have a riving knife on the saw if possible.

The grain pattern /white deposits in the grain suggests Iroko
