First post here. I figure I may as well start on the right foot and ask a question rather than give advice. So here it goes, do any of you know what species these are? There are three different woods, I have a couple pics of each, showing the long grain and the end grain of each species. Any knowledgeable suggestions would be very appreciated. The first three pics of the reddish wood, even though I have never seen anything like it, is very distinctive, as it has prominent medullary rays which are extremely brittle and the wood itself is hard, heavy and brittle, extremely difficult to plane even with a byrd head.
