Well since I do a little of everything with wood I usually mill a little of everything, 5/4, 10/4, 12/4 and some blocks for turning and playing on the lathe. You can ask 10 different people about this and get 10 different answers Yes

Kinda the same with finishing. Biggrin

Well...I was pretty sure about it. Although on my phone I didn't see bore holes but it really looked like it to me....

to me it looks like silver maple with a little bit of worm and a whole lot of heart wood or stain. since you said the leaves look like maple im thinking your probably right. its a small tree and ive seen them grow like that here in indiana. i think thats just heart and stain. where im at its extremely hard to find good white soft maple most of ours looks like that in the center.
