Hi all any help much appreciated.  Rubbing down an old desk but not a clue what wood it is. Any of you sage and knowledgable  gentlemen/ladies out there able to give me clue as to what species it may be?

looks like a piece of genuine mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) but i'd need a close up of the endgrain to be sure.

Looks like the stuff we used to turn at school before it became listed. Makes me sneeze.

Thanks Guys

Looking at the wood database it seems a good bet.
