Are you referring to massaranduba? If so I've made two longbows from it. Really hard and heavy wood. Very similar to ipe.

[mater]

Thats possibly it. Ive seen where it was called many names. If its like ipe, should work well.

thanks Mark

I just found a tree site that refers to this as mimusops wood.
