I have heard of a “chemical test” that can be done to accurately
identify a woods species.
Does anyone know of someone who provides this service “or similar”?
Thanks

The tests are visual against a known sample, not chemical. You'll find your answers in this thread:

Thanks,
Looks like the USDA service is free.
Never would have occurred to me to look into a Govt.
