Won't lose it to me. Soft maple is my choice, too. If the color's off,
could be something like alder, though.

What it definitely is not is birch.

my guess is white maple. i'd put money on it. if so, it's a very hard,
durable wood, and with a little refinishing it'll be beautiful.

granted, i might lose my money, but it wouldn't be the first time.

Anyways, I was just curious if someone could help me figure out what
kind of
wood it is? Comparing the grain to some desks I have, it looks like it
might
be birch, but I am no expert, so I figure I would open this up to the
masses!

Let me know if you can identify this.
