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.


I wonder if computer screens are throwing us off. I went back and
looked again and still think it is cherry. Too pink to be ma[le.
