What kind of wood? Maple? Birch?, Beech?

Hard to tell from picture, but I would guess one of those three.
Wishful thinking on my part. The price was right.
It's soft maple.

A jig.... I use jigs for everything. With such a consistent diameter it will be a lot easier than what I was doing before. At least I hope it will be...

These cost only a fraction of the AYC I was buying. It's even cheaper than the still green Atlantic white cedar I was buying in the rough. I still had to plane, joint and rip that stuff. Oh, I had to let it dry and then I needed to cull out the checked and knotted pieces.

Never again.....

This source had hard maple, beech, cherry, ash and this soft maple. Problem is ya have to buy it by the pallet. Freight costs more then the product. If it weren't so far, I would drive there to get it instead.
