what kind of wood is this?

is it heavy, resinous and dulls the tools rapidly? might be apatong or
something in that family.

It's not resinous... I think. I mean, it doesn't have an oily feeling...
It's hard enough to be considered hard on tools, though. I could see a
thin white line on the tip of my blade after maybe 1/2 hour of straight
shaving or so.
But no pitch or oil if I'm looking at it right.

Definitely nowhere near apitong.
Surely not a rosewood or padouk.
But it is almost surely one of the Legumes.
