How about Claro Walnut?
Saw a Taylor acoustic made of Claro Walnut (on their site) & it was beyond beautiful.
 
That pic looks alot like a piece of Brazilian Rosewood that I have. The wood in the pic is a little darker but looks close.
 
non-porous and varies from grey to black, as well as several growth lines. looks like african blackwood. but at this magnification, who knows?

Eric, you are correct! Your diagnosis was spot on, I am impressed.
I dialed the magnification back for this example. Do you think it is too high of a power for correct ID, or too low this time?

Depends on what you want. If you people identifying the wood, then this was a perfect zoom. If you want bunches of blind guesses, then magnify it some more. The closer you magnify, the more all wood looks the same. Get close enough & it'll all look almost exactly the same. Heck, put your finger tip under there & ultra magnify it and see how many guesses you get!!!! But yeah, I think this is a good magnification.

IDIOT'S DELIGHT:

let me cut it so I can smell it while doing so.....
let me fondle it so I can feel its weight.....
let me look at the long grain, not the end grain.....
THEN MAYBE I CAN TELL YOU.........
From the picture you have sent it really looks like a flattened piece of dog sh&t that you have scraped off you shoe....any further identification is impossible. call me if you have a problem with my answer 734-428-1161

A little too much to drink I suppose. If you have a problem identifying wood from the end grain then say so, otherwise keep your delightful idiocy to yourself.
