I just bought a bunch of wood off of somebody on CL and have a few remaining pieces that I've yet to identify. Does anybody have thoughts on what these could be?

And a few more.

#9a & #9b are a turning block, so it's hard to fully see through the coating

Thanks, Jim. I'll do a little research with those in mind and confirm the species. As for #5, is there a specific Rosewood? It kind of looks like Amazon, Cochen or E. Indian Rosewood

Both 1 and 5(with sapwood) look like some of the Brazilian Rosewood (veneer and solid) that I have but #1 might be Cocobola as it has that orange/red tone that Cocobola has.
The surface of the Brazilian Rosewood can be a darker brown tone if the surface has been exposed to light/oxygen more.

These are difficult for me.

2: Sapelle
8: Cherry
9b: Wenge
11: The color and sap suggest cherry, but the grain suggests pine.

So the #5 board had some chalk writing on it that I couldn't figure out before, but now with the few names being thrown around, I was able to read that it says Cocobolo. The board is 11-1/2" x 70-1/2" x 1".
