What wood is this....

[tri4sale]

Picked up a trailer today, and it had 10 to 15 planks of this wood:

Any guesses as to what it is?

looks like maple

My guess is maple too . Have pictures of the stack/ other pieces?

Is it hard or soft?
If hard probably maple; if soft could be poplar. Any greenish streaks - that's common in poplar.

Soft Maple

I'm working w/ Maple right now on a project. That looks like the Maple I'm using (hard).

When I clean out the trailer I'll get pics of the stack / other pieces.

Thanks for everyone's input, Maple seems to be the consensus. No greenish streaks in it that I saw.

My guess would be maple too. Poplar is so common that a glue up to those dimensions should be unnecessary.

So the trailer came with the wood in it as a bonus? What were you intending to get with the trailer? Teak?

I bought from a sign guy retiring, and it came with some HDU pieces, PVC sheet pieces, and some plexi. The wood was just an added bonus.

Ok, an added bonus for you. Now you have to find a use for 46 bf of soft maple (red maple). The Hardwood Store charges $3.25/bf for soft maple.

$150 in free wood is always a good thing.
