So.... what wood is this?

It is about 4" wide, for scale.
Hint, it has been stained.

I am very pleased with how it came out.

Goncalo Alves?

I'm betting the wood is poplar.

Once you said it was stained, the color is irrelevant :)

[Wade Lippman]

Actually spruce. Well, I was surprised by it; I expected it would just get kinda muddy looking.

From that angle, it reminds me of a well-lit cave.

Did the entire board stain so evenly?
