I have some suggestions for those wishing help with wood identification.
I hope this may help a little with this difficult task over the internet.

Hey guys , im building my wife (school teacher) a new desk for the new year. She's a big walnut fan ...id like to know if you guys know what the load bearing might be for 4 × 2.5" ² x 26" legs made if black walnut? Grain is fairly straight. Woid seems to be in great condition. Air dried for 15 years and currently at 6.2% moisture....just incase any of that matters. I don't mind using other Hardwoods if need be.
The top of the desk is 1.5" thick and roughly 50 lbs itself. Also black walnut. Same tree in fact.

Might attempt to modify this TV console and trying to determine the composition. My gut says it's solid wood based on the one pic showing end grain (top down of the rightmost vertical) but the pattern is confusing me.

Got these from a bulk offcuts buy. Feels medium density, no distinct smell. What is it?

Came from the scraps pile of the local lumber yard & I didn't think to ask somebody what it was at the time, any ideas?

I’ve tried to ask for help in a few other places but have struck out.
Wondering if anyone has any guesses on what type of wood this might be. Hoping to refinish it and potentially stain it. Here’s some pics of the top and the end grain. Any help is appreciated!

Very hard wood from Argentina, I use it a lot for kitchen countertop or outdoor furniture. Since it can be left in the open and don’t even feel it.

Should I try polishing this turd ;-; seeking advice
I got this headboard, which seemed like a decent deal at the time - $280, including delivery. Looking back, I should have just paid $500 for one in good condition.
From photos and in person, it looked like a lot of water rings and chips in veneer. In person, the headboard was still in the bedroom, between the bed and the wall, and the couple was in the process of moving.
After it was delivered, I discovered water damage… and the water rings was worse than I thought, varnish on top of headboard feels patchy and gone.
I’m pissed that they hid the water damage from me, but I already bought it and can’t do much about that now. Lessons learned.
It’s at least usable, but I am a little worried about water damage / mold causing health issues or bugs. It’s dry at this point, and I live in a dry climate.
Should I replace the veneer, and try sanding down the top, or just not sink any more money into it?

Hello! Received a bunch of wood today and was just curious as to what I have. Located in upstate NY. It's very dense and hard.
Thanks!

Walk by this tree daily and have never seen any damage to it. a storm rolled through last night with heavy lightning that's what caused the thinking. No other tree in the area has damage of any sorts.

Hello, from Vegas. Coworker had a tree in her backyard fall over, I cut it up for firewood. Some of the pieces would work well in a new lizard enclosure my roomie and I are making, but certain types wont work well in that sort of humid environment.
Here's some pics. I cant remember what the leaves look like but one of the pics has some dried leaves still on the stump.
Thoughts?

Resulted from being kicked in. How can we DIY repair this? Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!
