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.

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.

No, it's not. The color is totally wrong for cherry, not nearly dark or red enough. Sap marks
are too wide for cherry, and also not dark enough.

It's maple.
