I have quite a bit of wood from all over the world that I purchased years ago from an old woodworker/Woodturner. He worked at a wood importing company and was paid in wood. Unfortunately, he passed on a few years ago so it’s very difficult to ask him what type of wood I have when I get stumped. In the photos are what I think is possibly big leaf maple, figured/fiddleback maple and a piece that has a orange/brown color and fiddleback figure. That piece is definitely a mystery to me. I’d appreciate any help identifying these.44261144261244261344261444261544261644261144 2612442613442614442615442616

Looks like curly soft maple and butternut to me.

The lighter stuff is definitely maple.

Gotta agree. Can you show some end grain patterns for the darker wood?
