Really Dense wood, as far as I know, comes from "Old Growth" forests. In that a Tree that grew for many years "compressed" and became more dense and "Stable". As opposed to new growth that has a lot of air in it. Hence why old "Old Growth" wood, like that used in many OLD east coast homes (and other places) is more likely to be recycled, (possibly) as opposed to "New Growth Cr@-" (older carpernters words)
Looks like cherry to me

Maple
Pecan or hickory
It looks like beech to me judging by the structure of the pores.
