[Woodworkers] Identify species...

[Brian Johnson]

Hey Folks -

I'm finally back in the states after 5 years living abroad, and starting 
to get my garage shop set back up. Part of that is acquiring some 
lumber. Yesterday I picked up 14 boards, all 4/4 x 100" x 6" or 8", 
species unknown. I've attached two photos, one of a board that still had 
a bit of bark on it, and another showing the grain. Based on that I'm 
thinking it's oak, but the gentleman I picked it up from thought it 
might be hard maple. He's had it sitting in his garage for over 10 
years, so the memory is likely fuzzy.

Normally I wouldn't care, but I'm going to be trading some with my uncle 
and would like to be able to tell him what it is. So, any ideas?

Thanks Folks!

-Brian
