What wood is this?

[Richard R]

Any suggestions what this lump of wood might be? Retrieved from a skip, so no provenance, but it's quite a nice piece and has clearly been planed on three sides.

 

Colour is a warm, slightly pink brown. Oyster card for scale.

 

 

No idea what I will do with it.

Tree wood?

 

 

I would hazard a guess at something in the mahogany area, or maybe walnut?  But I only know if I have a lump of any type of wood if I bought it and wrote on it what it is so my advice may not have much use.

If used for a musical instrument, tone wood?
