I think the unknown wood may be teak. Hard to tell from the photo,but
it looks an awful lot like it to me. Does it have sort of a soapy feel?
The teak I've turned had a very distinct feel to it when worked. It
tools nicely.

Hope to see more coming out of your shop Tom...

I did noty nbotice any unusual feel to the wood - neither more slick nor
"soapy" feeling. I will give it another grope, and try to notice. Thanks for
the hint. Thanks also for the encouragement.
