Looking to identify a wood

I'm looking to identify the wood on this web site:

Not the colored wood, but the natural wood that is the base of each train. I want to use that wood for another project, and I'd like to identify it.

Any thoughts? Maple maybe?

Thanks,

None other. My first thought was "sure looks like sugar maple to me."

When blown up, it looks like soft-maple but for that project, either would work just fine. Soft maples are the species that have predominate birds-eye and fiddleback in their grain whereas the hard maple species tend to have straight grain.

Looks like maple or possibly birch to me.

Looks like monkey pod(aka raintree)..sorta... that wood, some is similiar in color to maple, is used for a lot of imported wood furniture(& etc) from S.E. Asia, S. America and Hawaii(not native).

  • + + It is quite impossible to ID such a wood from such a picture. Could be any of a number of woods. Taking a wild stab in the dark, maple would be the odds-on bet. PvR
