Looks a bit like quartersawn sycamore for the secondary (draw bottom) wood.


Usually guessing wood species except the most obvious of them is wildly inaccurate.

However, I have turned a lot of sycamore as there are from time to time large trees down here. It looked just like that! It is very stable once dried, but a little soft. Perfect for a secondary wood.

I would bet that is sycamore.
