I recently had to throw out some old patio umbrellas and noticed that the ribs and post were wood. I know it's not maple or oak. It's a hardwood of some kind - very light, like birch but it seems to have more 'pores' than birch. Not an open grain like mahogany or oak but more pores than I've seen i birch.
Anyone aware of what type of wood this may be?
Thanx,

Big business types with engineering backgrounds love it -- and not just in a chuckle kind of way. It's like a secret handshake they never knew they had, if that makes sense. If you came up with it, you might consider filing a copyright -- a few bucks. You can take a look at this for some info re that possibility:
Wish I could take credit for it - but I stole it from someone else - another programming type. My other favorite, being an Italian is:
