Help me identify this wood

[Matteo Marziali]

I recieved this wood from a barter.
Someone told me it's cherry...

The green tint makes me think poplar.

But that's just wild guess.

Cherry is typically a darker color. I'm not so sure that this is cherry...

Cherry or some other fruit wood is not out of the question but with those pictures anyone who answers is guessing. Was the wood grown in your neck of the woods or imported? Cherry is graded for darker/redder color here but the sapwood is very light in color and sometimes green when freshly milled.

I think it's Cherry. See if it smells sweet

 

[Chris_H]

that could be Cherry, I have seen that kind of color in Cherry.

 

[Teacher]

Could be cherry, apple (which I've used many times), or even pear. Then again, it could also be poplar with some character.

Idk elm,locust.

No reason to think it's not cherry. Cherry thats freshly milled or not exposed to UV has a wide variety of colors and grain patterns. I frequently shop at a lumber dealer/mill and have seen quilted, curly, gum pocket, spalt, crotch, sapwood streaks, etc. in cherry. Over time it'll take a more reddish brown tone and even out in color.

Almost reminds me of Olive...

Its poplar wood. This wood is light cream or yellowish brown shade with occasional streaks of grey or green color. It can also be seen with dark purple or red stains. The color tends to darken with exposure to light.

 

[DJSoda]

Pistachio?

 

[Tdog]

That, my friends, is indeed Cherry.

Cherry, at times, can exhibit that greenish cast in the sapwood. The first photo shows some early stages of decay.....That coloration and "streaking" (spault) pattern is very common in cherry.

Thanks to everybody for the replays!
