Trying to identify a piece of wood

[Jon Buescher]

I have a large board sitting in my shop, not sure what it is, significantly heavier than maple, it is nice and dark and seems to be very hard. One pic with it compared to walnut

I would bet it's Ipe.

I would bet it's Ipe.

What is that?

It's a very dense oily wood that's very popular for decks and boats. I was given a couple of board feet awhile back. While it's tough it liked to check, and burned easily when shaping handles. In the end I chose not use it.

I've got some Cumaru that looks similar. Very dense, used for decking and flooring (at least the pieces I have were). Also heard it called Brazilian Teak. It finished up very nicely.

That looks really close,
