Wood - Iroko?

This is the wood I used to make the film holder. I think it may be iroko. It came from an old shelf which must be at least 25 years old. It works really well on the router - although it doesn't plane well, the grain tends to tear where it runs in the wrong direction. After routing or planing it looks quite pale and yellowish, but curiously the saw dust is brick red.
