Hello all,



Recently I bought some mysteriously titled "Red Hardwood" to renovate

a garden bench. Does anyone have any idea what it might be?!





Small block, oiled:

Looks mahogany-ish. I would need to see how it sands and how hard it is. Isn't orange enough to be african mahog I don't think. The piece with the ruler shows some "banding" in the color. If it has lots of bands of color it could be Sepele.
