after having the lumber in the rack, and used it for mainly raised panels because of its unique coloring, I brought a planed piece of it today to the metro area's largest and oldest lumber dealer.
The dealer stocks every dimension and every species Ive ever heard of.
The boss came walking over when I was showing it to a few of the salesmen, and he said he knows what it is, touched it, and said, yep, actually very desirable.
Its total sapwood walnut with the coloring running throughout it. I questioned him and he said, no doubt, its not poplar as I thought it was.
heres a pic of a flat panel I used it for, unfinished. The color really jumps with oil and its smooth as silk.
