My suggestions...

1. Black walnut (light weight) or Mgurure (heavy)?
2. Beech
3. Yew
4. Oak possibly if the stripes across the end-grain are medularies rather than bandsaw marks
5. Sapele or Utile?
6. Beech?
7. Oak
8. Possibly Mgurure?
9. Looks quite like Indian Rosewood?
10. Possibly Aussie Jarrah or Redgum if very hard/heavy, Sapele if soft/light?
11. Iroko?
12. Yew

8 looks more like Lignum Vitae to me.

A set of weighing scales and some dimensions would help to solve it.

Oh interesting is there anywhere online that lists the density of types of wood ?

Oh yes there is http://www.csudh.edu/oliver/chemdata/woods.htm

chuck it in a bucket of water, if it sinks then it is most likely Lignum.

Kim,
Although you're right, remind me not to invite you into my woodstore when any wood needs identifying :shock: :wink:

Ok

No 1 has a density of approx 1g per cc

no 2 I compared to another piece of beech and the grain matches that.

No 3 Yew.

No 4 again comparing against known, its oak.

No 5 I think sapele

No 6 is red hardwood with a density of .77 g/cc end grain photo



No 7 is a red with density of .76 g/cc see new photo

and


No 8 sinks but so does 9 ?

No 9 again with comparison, I can go with indian rosewood

No 10 has a density of .77 g/cc ,

No 11 has a density of .76 g/cc, end grain



No 12 yew

Hehe, made me chuckle!

Apart from that you could take up wet turning! Not that Lignum would come to much harm, it's practically waterproof.
