So... working on a new project (small table with folding drop-leaves) using some 'old' wood that I bought for something else (that never happened) years ago.
Had two 4/4 planks on the shelf, which would be just about right for the frame aprons and the table top. But now that the boards for the top have been rough cut to length, and milled S3S...
At first I thought it just one plank had a lot more sap wood - the light colored sections - than the other, and thought I'd just cut around it. Now I'm starting to wonder if one board was cherry, and the other is poplar?

Any guesses? Any definitive way to tell?
Note to self... take (and keep) better notes on which boards are which!
