Can any one tell me what kind of wood this is? It's light-colored,
feels like a hardwood, has some interesting brown marking, doesn't
particularly smell like anything when I cut it.

Thanks.


Uhh not sure what these others are thinking but that is Cherry. Color,
grain, dark sap marks. It should burn easily if you slow cut on a high
speed tool and then smell a bit like a cherry cigar.

BTW I wish I could say "it doesn't smell like much when I cut it."

Could be, but I'm still thinking maple..
but you are right it could be Cherry.


I was thinking maple, but the grain on the far left really looks like
cherry.
