Default Type of wood?

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.

The top row of pictures show close ups of Maple. That is my vote.

That said, cut a small piece and let it burn against the blade.

Maple will typically turn brown, cherry will typically turn dark red.
