Anybody got any idea what this wood is? All that I know is that is was rejected as firewood, hence my being able to appropriate it for this turning.

That was my first thought too, Gary. I just didn't want to call it wrong. The fleck in the grain that faces the camera (especially to the right) is what got my attention.
 
^I saw that too but I have seen those in Maple also. The flecs in sycamore I have used were more pronounced that what I see there. So I'll still stick by my original guess.
 
I have more of it waiting to be used. Maybe I'll bring a chunk to Atlanta! Probably will because I'm not prone to cleaning out the car very often. Such a slob.
 
I have a small mountain or it waiting to be turned. See the pattern in the first pic---just under the lid.
Sycamore
You know we are almost neighbors
 
I have some turned spalted red maple that looks identical in every way to that wood - color, fleck - almost exactly the same. I tend to go with the folks who are saying maple.

Best,
Roger Garrett
