I found this piece of mystery wood in a neighbors trash. They just bought the house from the previous owner who died about a year ago. The board is about 2" thick by 12" wide and almost 6' long. Its pretty heavy. The wood is a reddish color so I was initially thinking red oak maybe but it doesn't look like what I see for red oak online. Below is an edge shot. The grain and color looks like this down the whole board.

Without face and end grain pics, any guess is just that.
But based on the "its pretty heavy" clue, luan IMHO isn't heavy.
Id guess Kempas.
Once Favre hangs it up though, it years of cellar dwelling for the Pack. (Geoff 12-18-07)
