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,

No, that is where the umbrellas were, not what they were made of!

BTW, I have gotten some good mileage with your posting tag line -- not
claiming credit, just telling people about it. 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:

Hmmm.
I was told that's what an Italian chef in Oregon is called.

there are t-shirts with the "10 kinds of people" line on them at
www.thinkgeek.com. I don't have anything to do with them other than I
ordered that shirt for my daughter a couple of years ago and found it there.
