I sawed some 20 plus inch wide Maple 3 years ago.
Brought it out of the shed today and re-sawed it and planed some of it.

I knew when I sawed it that its was Maple. However I'm unsure of the species of Maple.

Maybe WDH or someone in my area can help out. Its a local Maple from where I live.

That's funny, cause the rest of the board looks like the red maple I mill here.  :D
