Wood identity?

[Beamer]

I can't bite on cherry - but the grain DOES look like it ...

I'll put $$ on Alder - because it looks really close to cherry sometimes.

I can't fathom any walnut that looks like this. Nor oak. Not even close, in my opinion.

Yep. I bet Alder. It's a common pallet wood, it's semi cheap in some parts of the country, it's not super dense or heavy but sturdy.

Good guess! I'll cast my vote along with yours as a rider, Jason. Alder seems more like what we're looking at than anything that came up in my own mind.

Well, not to change my vote, based on others's vote - but.... something like Alder does sound right.... Cherry was my vote, but I couldn't agree with the cost vs. what it was used for, REGARDLESS of the geographical region.... so - Alder sounds like a pretty sound guess.

Any chance we can get the REAL story behind thewood?
