Can any one tell me what kind of wood this is? It's


light-colored, feels like a hardwood, has some interesting

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.

Can you send some of it my way..
