"Do you realise that every blade of grass is a different shade of green?" - from My Voice Will Go With You

We have iroko worktops in the kitchen, but this is much lighter in colour, much more golden and the grain is different.
It almost looks like metal in the sun.

There's an app for that:

It does look familiar to me. I am now thinking hard.
mat says:
I do not have an iDevice I can run that on, and there does not appear to be an Android version.
I've looked through quite a few photos, but nothing is leaping out.
It's likely to be something a bit obscure/rare, because it's a rather specialist kind of place. It might be some form of palm, the grain is a bit palmy.
Helen says:
I feel like I've seen something with that sort of grain and the shine of the light and dark. But if I remember the object, that probably doesn't really help identify the wood.
mat says:
My goodness that site is comprehensive.
I wonder if it's jacareuba or mengkulang. So hard to tell from photos.
