I few weeks ago I asked if anyone might know what kind of wood this was.  We kind of decided it was a myrtle/sycamore of some kind.

I cut that log into 4 blanks.  I've managed to lose one of them on a shelf somewhere in the shop.  I rough-turned one of the three remaining blanks this morning.  Any further ideas on the species seeing the grain and coloring?

Whatever kind of wood it is, it was a pleasure to turn.  Very easy to cut.  Had a crisp clean spring woods smell to it.

Still looks like sycamore to me.  Found this picture on the web.

Never had the opportunity to try myrtle but we have lots of sycamore around here and that's sorta what the bark looks like.

Yeah, I can practically taste it looking at this image.
