Anyone know what this wood is?

[low_48]

I don't!! I once found out what is was when I saw a bowl in someones gallery on the internet. Didn't write it down, and can't find it again. These colors held from the day I sawed the log 2 years ago till now. Brown heartwood and yellow sapwood. No smell, very light weight, course grain, slight fleck on the quartersawn side. The log was about 18" dia if I remember right and about 8' long. It was at the recycling yard so I didn't see any leaves.

Maybe someone has seen this before, thanks.

Pretty wood, but have no clue as to it's origin. The wood looks a little like a flowering plum that I cut up after Hurricane Ivan a few months ago but has a more distintive grain than the plum. Let's see, 8' long, 18" dia. cut up into 3/4" square by 5" long, that's a lot of pens!!

Looks like Brazilian Canarywood.

The tree was growing in Peoria, IL. It might have been an ornamental, but doubt if it is that exotic. The sapwood is all that is yellow, and it is about 1" to 1 1/2" thick. We do have a botanical garden here, but doubt if it came from there.

Nope, this stuff is as soft as catalpa. Real light weight, course grain.

Looks exactly like some mock orange I turned when I first got started.
