It's a sad time, but FYI OSAGE ROOST will be pulling the plug at the end of the month. It's been a great 15 years since the start, but it's hardly ever used now and time to move on!
Looks like Sycamore to me.

I'm going to say it's cherry. The wood in the top has a lighter appearance like a maple but it probably the photo. I have a piece of cherry with a very similar quarter sawn grain. Some call it snake belly. Should finish up nice.Muck
