Wood Identification

Anyone have any thoughts on what type of wood this might be?

Yep but no better guesses locally with eyes on it.

>smell is helpful
If there is a smell, it is extremely faint and I've got a good nose.

>heft helps
Lightweight, which was siad earlier.

>how it works and sands etc
Works well for most part.
Sands easily. Water raises grain nicely for sanding.

>porosity
Very tight grained. Almost no noticable grain, knots, etc.
>---

I've got two hunches on this one but I'm waiting on a friend to return
who has the eyes, nose and knack for wood identification.

Add Tupelo a common Carving Wood. I have a chunk 4x6x12" and the
trees are large to easily deliver that item.

Cottonwood - Possible. I've worked with one piece and it was darker.
Quaking Aspen - Maybe? I've not see this so I'm not sure. Hard to find
Apsen around here. I tried a couple years back for a project and
couldn't find any. Was told HD carries it but they said they were out.
Still have yet to find any there when I've looked.

Maple/Sugar - Don't think so. Not hard or heavy enough.
Dogwood - Possible. Have not worked with any yet.
Basswood - Don't think so. Heavier than what I've used.
Sycamore - Possible. Looks a bit lighter in color than what I've seen.

This piece is light but not as light, at least in my comparison, or as
soft, as basswood. But I could be wrong. It has more grain, albeit not
a huge amount, than my other basswood pieces.

If it were heavier, I'd almost think it was a citrus wood. Dried
citrus wood has a yellowish-white coloration. It is a close-grained
hardwood. I have a piece of Grapefruit wood from Florida that is very
similar but currently has more moisture right now, so it is heavier
and a more yellow.

Here's a piece of turned grapefruit wood...
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii235/AMDHamm/grapefruit%20bowl.jpg

Sand real well! This piece warped a tad but not noticible unless you
look close at the bottom. It has much less grain than I had hoped, so
not sure what I am going to do to or with it. I may gets artsy on it.

Is that aged and maybe varnished / oiled Basswood ? It seems
rather clear of grain.

My thoughts exactly It looks like a pretty soft wood - yet not a
"softwood" - Basswood, poplar, quaking aspen,mabee even willow, but it
doesn't quite look like it.

Maple has more visible grain. The wood LOOKS soft from this angle.
