I bought this slab of wood before I really knew what I was doing. It was 3" thick, and about 5" by 30" long. A good chunk, all dry and planed square, it had a few rough corners, but I was going to turn it…
I was thinking maybe Maple? I didn't know.
I've cut it up, I put 3 blanks and 2 finished pieces from the chunk in the photo, with reference blanks below just so you know what color hue it is compared to other wood….
It has too much salmon pigment to be maple, or so it seems…
So now I'm leaning closer to Cherry, but the center of the tree wasn't in this piece, does cherry get this big?
