Is this Bloodwood?

[Balasharc]

I bought this piece of wood the other day labeled as blood wood, but it is not like any I have seen. What else could it be? In the Last Picture the bottom Red board IS Bloodwood.

Looks like sapele

Nope not Sapele, that is brownish. I have 2 different sources of it. This is redish orange with highlights of yellow. looks like maybe some really awesome canary wood but the grain is differnent. The 3rd Picture is Dark.

i see that a lot being sold as bloodwood, its not what i wood call bloodwood, its some kind of satin wood, open grain and not that deep of a red as stuff i had in the past.

Looking at the last picture with both boards, The board thats not Bloodwood looks like some blanks someone sent me labeled IPE. When I compared it to other blanks I had, it looked more like some bubinga blanks I had. So I'm basically no help...Sorry

Not sure what it is from the pics but I am fairly certain it is NOT bloodwood.

Certainly not bloodwood...looks like Santos mahogany or African Mahogany with that grain and color
