Ok, finally figured out what this is. Was back at the local Woodcraft where I bought the original piece. They had a number of the same kind of turning blanks in stock. I asked the staff what the wood was, as it wasn't marked outside of a price. After examining a couple of the blanks and thinking about it, one of the guys said he was fairly sure it was Canarywood, but wasn't certain. We kept turning the blanks around, and he said the way the grain caught the light, made him think of Canarywood again.
We then compared the turning blanks to a couple of canarywood boards they had, and it was the closest match I've seen so far. I just got home a little while ago, and searched canarywood, and found this image:
This is definitely it! The orange and gray/blue streaks, are definitely evident in the piece of wood I have. I don't have the reddish colored streaks, but I do have the darker brown. My particular piece has some cathedral grain, which makes it look a bit different than the blanks they now have in stock, but its definitely the same stuff.
SO...Canarywood. I guess I'd never seen anything other than boards and bowl blanks, which are cut differently than turning blanks. But at least I know what it is now, and I can pick up more if I want. I will also say this...the pith in canarywood is really punky stuff!! The blank I have seems to have some cracking around the pith, which has made it hard to turn, as once the cracks are fully exposed, there is basically nothing holding that piece of wood to the blank, and chunks will just fly off. Anyway...finally identified. Hopefully this will help someone in the future.
