I was wondering whether any of you guys could help me identify what kind of wood this is. The photo is attached.
Thanks!

In determining what species the wood is, it might help to know what was that section of wood used for, or where you got it. Any info like that might help. The picture shows a brighter side due to either a flash or lighting conditions, so guessing it's Maple because it's so light may be incorrect. The right side looks a bit darker.
