Anyone have a good idea what this might be? It is 3/4" tongue and groove flooring. Got it from a friend who got it from a friend. Just a few boards 36"~ , 5" wide. It sorta looks like Brazilian cherry, but not sure. Extremely heavy, a single board feels like 5lb.+.
I'm thinking of glueing it together and cutting a round table top for an aluminum base that I picked up.
I wet these with a spray of water to highlight grain.

Lighting and glare aren’t great, but from here it appears too yellowish brown to be Braz. Cherry. Grain looks a bit different as well. I do about 2-3000 bf of it a year, and it is considerably redder than that, and it has a slightly grayish-white very thin line between growth rings, or part of them that is easily seen in flat sawn planed material.
