Topic / Subject :	Wood Identification
Message :	I’m trying to identify the species of some wood I recently salvaged from a pallet. I am working it to build a tool box out of, and find it looks a lot like Mahogany but has a very sharply defined stain in the heartwood. The wood is very hard, particularly the (stained) heartwood. The wood outside the heart wood is dramatically lighter than the heartwood, both in color and in actual weight. The difference continues in cutting it on the table saw, the light wood cuts reasonably easily, while the stained heartwood is very dense and hard to cut, slowing the saw and showing evidence of being burned. I wonder if you could help me identify the source of the wood. There is a grade stamp on the wood but it doesn’t seem to include the usual information. Placed vertically on the left side of the stamp there is a stylized leaf and the letters “IPPC”. On the right side there is “MY-SB 004”on the top line and “MB” Beneath that. These are framed in two boxes that look similar to a flag. Are you familiar with this stamp? Can you tell me where it’s from and what the text means? Any thought on what the wood species is? I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
