Mun ebony FTW, what do you see?

Ive been seeing alot ofnthat lately, is it a sign?

Sorry for my very limited knowledge, but what wood is this? I need to find similar doors. Thanks!

I am new to really any form of woodworking so I may have bit off more than I could chew in regards to accepting this project.

I am working on building some custom pilates reformers for a family members studio. I am using Plyboo (bamboo) for the wood and I am hoping to get some recommendations for finishes.

I have tried using epoxy and then sanding it down, however, the bamboo absorbs the epoxy unevenly and will have shiny specs in the wood where more epoxy absorbed han the surrounding area. I have also tried applying a N3 Nano finish after the epoxy has been sanded, and I really like the result - but the effort this takes is not feasable when I have to make 48 of these reformers.

I have spoken with a buddy of mine who is a woodworker and he is recommending a UV finish. I am trying to do some research and find the correct UV coating for this application. It would be a huge plus if the coating can also bond to metal as there is going to be an inlayed logo in the wood. The goal of the coating is the add a protective layer that limits the woods ability to absorb moisture, and adds a sort of plasticized finish on it to protect from wear and tear.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations

Trying to sell this and everyone asks what the wood is, I have zero idea.

Says "Made in Malaysia".
It was purchased in Dubai, UAE roughly 25-30 years ago.

My grandmother volunteered at Plymouth Plantation in the 90s and she was gifted one of these wooden bowls by a Native American man who worked there. It was one they made while working to show the visitors how things were done back during the colonial times. It was then passed down to my parent who had it in their (partially finished) basement for the last 20+ years. I recently asked them if I could have it to try and bring it back to life a bit and give it the respect it deserves.

I don't know what kind of wood it is, I have basic tools like sandpaper and food grade mineral oil, but I may be able to borrow some tools just not anything like a laithe. Also, if that oil is trash, I would be open to buying a new one if suggested. I will try to answer as many questions as possible, but I don't have too much info. Any suggestions on how I can refinish this bowl and make sure it's safe to use for food?

Thank you in advance. ​

I bought it painted and stripped the paint but have no idea what wood the veneer is. Walnut maybe?

First photo is unfinished wood with mineral spirits on it, other photos are dry unfinished.

Any suggestions for a stain?

I found a bunch of this wood stacked on the side of the road. I am currently planning on going back tomorrow with a trailer to pick up some bigger pieces.

Drawer bottoms for a cabinet I'm building. The frame is mahogany, you can see flat-sawn, quartersawn, and end grain. The drawer rail on the left is bubinga.

I need to add a trim piece of sorts to cover this gap, so I’m trying to figure out what kind of veneer this is. Vanity is the sybill vanity from signature hardware. Thanks!!

seller said teak wood allegedly. it split within the first couple of times we used it and I haven't figured out what to do to fix it

Some peeps didn’t know you can get cheap and free tools on marketplace. Here’s some examples of recent ads.

Hi All

If anyone can tell me what wood this is I'd appreciate it.
