Default Wood identification

A neighbor picked up a bunch of "scrap" which had been used as spacers
between drill pipe. They are all 8 footers, 2 by 4, and on planing one off
they are actually quite nice. The wood is very heavy - like maple or oak,
but quite light in color and with a grain not unlike oak, fairly widely
spaced growth rings.

I know it is difficult without a picture...Any ideas on what this is?
Possibly ash???



If you really want to know, send a small sample to the Forest Products Lab
in Wi.
