      It looks a little light, but my guess would be burled Walnut.

          Way too light for walnut!

          If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

              Elm

              I vote for Carpathian Elm Burl.

                  I don't have a clue what kind of wood it is, but sure wish I had some! It's bueatiful.

                      I don't want any. I'd probably cry like a baby when I screwed it up!

                              I'm 100% confident that it's beautiful wood!

                              ...Actually my first guess was burled elm, but it's nothing more than a guess.

                              Here's a link to some pics of carpathian elm:

                                  I can agree with that, with one caveat. It looks like Birdseye ENGLISH Walnut.

                                  If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

                                      What is/was it? A countertop? A bar top?

                                          I think it looks like a conference table.
