better scan of wood

[old folks]

Dampened grain better, is it Sweet Gum ?

Looks too dark for sweet gum (or should I say too pinkish) maybe it is the scan.

I've never seen sweetgum with grain like that. Also, the color is not right, as Johnny said.

The grain has been dampened. When cutting it I have to cut fairly slow because it is a hard wood.
