Wood ID needed - Bob10 - 11-05-2015
saw it in a pic and got curious as to what it is

No help, but interested to follow. I had a couple small 4/4 boards that looked just like that which I could never figure out. They weren't nearly as hard as the mahogany and maple that were in the same garage sale stash. Had awesome luminescence though. They seemed similar to butternut in weight and texture, but not the color I'd seen before.

Reminds me of some red maple I have.

Is the yellowish mark a sticker-protected area? Looks like what happens when you put one of the willow family - poplars/cottonwoods in a stack. If light, fuzzy, and maybe a touch musty smelling, my guess.

Sounds about right.

from what I understand it is a sanded area to aid in ID

Around here there are some places building massive tables using slabs from the large cottonwood trees. With nothing else to go on, I would consider cottonwood.

Is it local to SF? It's really hard to tell from just that one pic. Could be just about anything that changes color when exposed to light. Redwood? Cedar?

I was gonna guess cottonwood as well.....especially since it seems fairly wide more than 20" based on the racking upright in the background.
The neighbor took down a huge cottonwood this summer, and some of the chunks sitting out look just like that.

43" wide
