If it is not teak is may be mahogany or one of the species that is very similar to mahogany. The dense tight grain Honduras mahogany of year gone by is very difficult to find now..

That's exactly what it is... I've got a ton of it given to me by a neighbor because he wanted to "dispose" of it after his deck was built...
it makes great needles and blue streak knock offs..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

mojo, that is either cocobolo like grapenuts said or it is Bocote

If it is oily, it may even be Tamboti. but hard to tell from a picture

my guess = cocobolo
