Wood ID please

[Hunter]

Need help with this wood ID please.
It is a pallet wood seems tough and heavier than usual,
Picture attached showed boards before and after putting through a planer.
Non planed wood looks more reddish.

Beech ?

Not beech. Something tropical is my guess. Seventh Devil will healing to give his opinion on sure.v

Something tropical by the looks of it

[Squaredy]

As has been said definitely tropical timber.  I suspect you will struggle to get a positive ID unless you are willing to pay a laboratory to analyse it for you.

to be honest it doesn't look unlike some eucalyptus species but for a true ID i will need a good quality close up of the endgrain so i can see the pore structure.

 

any odour from the planing the wood???

[Hunter]

I may never know what is it but it looks nice anyway. There was no odour when planed. The most noticible thing was the weight compare to other wood. Here is picture for the endgrain

I have wet on of the boards to try and get better picture.

[Hunter]

Several boards significantly twisted, bowed and cracked so it must be difficult wood to work with.

i should have added cleaned up and sanded.

 

i need it to look like this so i can actually see the pores.
