Question on wood
« on: April 15, 2009, 11:50:38 pm »
I think it's Maple, but I've never seen it turn orange.  Can anyone identify it?

I'd say maple.
Mulberry is more golden/yellow, and is ring porous, while this wood is diffuse porous.
Ash is also ring porous, which I don't see in this wood.

The yellow color that appears, is only in the bark, right? If so, it's just oxidation. The wood itself should keep it's white color.
