Hi Can anyone help me identify this wood? Picked up a short plank at a recycling centre and planed it up and gave it a coat of shellac sealer so you can see what it looks like. Also attached a pic of the end grain which has also been planed and sealed. Hope to get a couple of Uke backs and sides out of this. It finishes well and planes easily and density wise it is similar to saple but maybe a tad lighter. All help gratefully received.



Cheers, Bob
