Well, I had to try sooner or later. Encouraged by efforts reported here, and

Cool. Interesting approach. Are you hooked now? Segmented turning is
a great way to use up those scraps and you can get such varying results.

I think the unknown wood may be teak. Hard to tell from the photo,but
it looks an awful lot like it to me. Does it have sort of a soapy feel?
The teak I've turned had a very distinct feel to it when worked. It
tools nicely.

Hope to see more coming out of your shop Tom...
