A neighbor picked up a bunch of "scrap" which had been used as spacers between drill pipe. They are all 8 footers, 2 by 4, and on planing one off they are actually quite nice. The wood is very heavy - like maple or oak, but quite light in color and with a grain not unlike oak, fairly widely spaced growth rings.
I know it is difficult without a picture...Any ideas on what this is? Possibly ash???
