I'm looking to identify the wood on this web site:

www.swansoncox.net/stack_train.jpg

Not the colored wood, but the natural wood that is the base of
each train. I want to use that wood for another project, and I'd
like to identify it.

Any thoughts? Maple maybe?

Thanks,

Carl

None other. My first thought was "sure looks like sugar maple to me."

How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

When blown up, it looks like soft-maple but for that project, either would
work just fine. Soft maples are the species that have predominate birds-eye
and fiddleback in their grain whereas the hard maple species tend to have
straight grain.

Looks like monkey pod(aka raintree)..sorta... that wood, some is similiar in
color to maple, is used for a lot of imported wood furniture(& etc) from
S.E. Asia, S. America and Hawaii(not native).

It is quite impossible to ID such a wood from such a picture.
Could be any of a number of woods.
Taking a wild stab in the dark, maple would be the odds-on bet.
