Having trouble identifying this tree.

This tree came down on my property and no leaves are growing on it anymore. The wood is bright and smells almost floral or perfume-y. Diameter is about 16”. Located in New England…

Any ideas?

Sorry, just very new to woodworking and would like to know. Bought on sale as fence pickets, no identification tags. Has a reddish orange color and slightly smells like pumpkin still wet though, if that helps.

Wood Flooring ID

I’m closing on this house next week and there are 3 rooms that have old carpet and I am planning on installing wood flooring. I’m trying to match with the existing wood floors. Google Lens tells me it’s Brazilian Walnut but I’m not sure. I appreciate any help identifying what kind of wood this is. Thanks!

If you can identify this veneer you win today!

I make fingerboards (mini finger skateboards) and was curious if anyone could identify this veneer? It’s really cool because when sanded across its vertical grain it creates a snakeskin effect.

I’ve been trying to figure this wood out for some time.

I bought this old table is an oyster and shrimping town on the coast of Florida. The lady I bought it from said it may be old planks from a boat. I’d love to know what it is. It’s not super heavy maybe cypress?

What wood is this? Could this be Rosewood?

I got this great sofa piece with matching table, but missing the side bench or chairs, and want to identify this sofa set to try and find the missing pieces. Grains very tightly packed grains like bamboo.

Dense wood, any ideas?

Got around to a quick plane and joint to help with identifying the wood. Found some nails i need to remove before going any further.

Dimensions are 3 7/8" x 7 7/8" x 30 1/2" and weight is 29.6 lbs. Wood is very dense. Thoughts? I'm leaning towards ironwood.

Carving stock

I plan to carve with this but I’m not sure what it is. I’m guessing it’s tulip but I really don’t know. It’s in north Georgia near a river.

What kind of wood is this?

Was given a slab. Planed. I honestly have no guesses. It is heavy like maple and doesn’t scratch with your finger nail. Has a waviness to it too. Thank you!

thrift find -$50

I thought I'd use this for wood work, but I am not worthy. If anyone knows the type of wood or the artist, I would love to know more.

Having trouble ID’ing the wood used for this MCM Jack Cartwright dresser

The man I bought it from claims it’s mahogany, specifically Cuban or Brazilian. I’m leaning towards it being walnut though, as the color and grain seem more consistent with it, and I noticed that most Jack Cartwright’s on the market are made from walnut. Hoping to sell it soon, just want to be totally sure what kind of wood it is before I list it online.

Edit: thank you for your responses! I’m amused, but mystified, that almost every single answer is different 😂 but am grateful that y’all came forward to give it a shot. I agree that the wood is too decorated to get a clear idea of what it is. Alas, I hope I’ll be able to sell it anyways.
