Looks like Ipe. Ipe often has a very fine dust that will look green in
color, not to be confused with the brownish saw dust. Also if you get a
citrus cleaner on the dust it will turn blood red. CMT Formula 2050 blade
and bit cleaner will turn the dust blood red as does my sweat sometimes.


I haven't tried that, but the sawdust and burn marks are very purple and
pink.
It's very similar to Purpleheart...... no, it's not Purpleheart.
