Kind of looks like a piece of Eurpoean Lacewood I used to have...but that's just a guess...

There may be a few species that get called lacewood.

Woods with pronounced medullary rays can be used to make some beautiful objects.

I have some Australian Lacewood (Sheoak) that looks exactly like those pictures.
