Not sure that is wood! has a look of black palm to me https://www.wood-database.com/black-palm/ which is odd stuff to work with!

Thanks. Certainly strange to work but my working of it was stopped because of an emergency trip to hospital (nothing to do with the wood)

Absolutely not black palm...your photos suggest Keruing. Did it smell fairly resinous?

Check out Keruing herehttps://www.wood-database.com/keruing/.
