Can any one tell me what kind of wood this is? It's
light-colored, feels like a hardwood, has some interesting

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.
I have over 10k bf of Cherry right now. Good Appalachian Cherry. Much of it is darker and much of it is lighter than those pieces. Most of it when freshly milled is about that color.
