Markem was heard to mutter:
Do not know for sure but it looks similar to a sycamore bowl I have. Cottonwood - Possible. I've worked with one piece and it was darker. Quaking Aspen - Maybe? I've not see this so I'm not sure. Hard to find Apsen around here. I tried a couple years back for a project and couldn't find any. Was told HD carries it but they said they were out. Still have yet to find any there when I've looked. Maple/Sugar - Don't think so. Not hard or heavy enough. Dogwood - Possible. Have not worked with any yet. Basswood - Don't think so. Heavier than what I've used. Sycamore - Possible. Looks a bit lighter in color than what I've seen. This piece is light but not as light, at least in my comparison, or as soft, as basswood. But I could be wrong. It has more grain, albeit not a huge amount, than my other basswood pieces. If it were heavier, I'd almost think it was a citrus wood. Dried citrus wood has a yellowish-white coloration. It is a close-grained hardwood. I have a piece of Grapefruit wood from Florida that is very similar but currently has more moisture right now, so it is heavier and a more yellow. Here's a piece of turned grapefruit wood... http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/i...uit%20bowl.jpg Sand real well! This piece warped a tad but not noticible unless you look close at the bottom. It has much less grain than I had hoped, so not sure what I am going to do to or with it. I may gets artsy on it. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

Is that aged and maybe varnished / oiled Basswood ? It seems
rather clear of grain. Martin On 7/11/2017 2:58 PM, Doug Miller wrote: Casper wrote in : Anyone have any thoughts on what type of wood this might be? Looks like sugar maple to me, maybe red maple.

Martin My thoughts exactly It looks like a pretty soft wood - yet not a "softwood" - Basswood, poplar, quaking aspen,mabee even willow, but it doesn't quite look like it.

Electric Comet was heard to mutter:
wood id is hard and harder from pics alone Yep but no better guesses locally with eyes on it. smell is helpful If there is a smell, it is extremely faint and I've got a good nose. heft helps Lightweight, which was siad earlier. how it works and sands etc Works well for most part. Sands easily. Water raises grain nicely for sanding. porosity Very tight grained. Almost no noticable grain, knots, etc. --- I've got two hunches on this one but I'm waiting on a friend to return who has the eyes, nose and knack for wood identification. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
