I moved your post to a more appropriate forum.

Welcome Danny, any chance you can post a clearer photo of the face grain and one of the fresh cut end grain? Is the wood heavy, light, hard soft, smell?

[Wade Lippman]

Looks like a sweet piece of bocote to me. Where did it come from?
Or maybe goncalo alves? Or shedua?

[Christopher Collins]

Cocobolo? but that would be a seriously valuable piece of wood if it were.
I also agree that Goncalo Alves is a possibility
So is Granadillo.

Whatever it is, it's probably expensive.
