    I need some help on identifying what type of wood this is. So if you can help me expand my very limited knowledge on Tree ID that would be great. Thanks

    I agree, Maple, darker heart wood and some spaulting (sp) usually found in maples.

    Yeah, looks that way.

    It's quick drying, and great wood for those shoulder season times.
