To tell you the truth it's really hard to see what the wood looks like in that picture.

Looks like poplar to me, too. How hard is it? Can you imprint it with your thumbnail? Try sanding it smooth to get a better look at the grain, then smell it. Then sand a known piece of poplar a little bit and smell that.

i checked against a piece of poplar...i believe that is what it is...of some sort or may have some staining to it....it had a void in the middle of the blank when i cut it...looked to be a knot hole or some sort of internal rotting....dont know....thanks guys *up*
