Ramon had more to do with throats than that Lovelace woman!

It made me think of "areno blanco" which I once saw in a Joss shaft in these forums.

Nailed it ^.
I'm pretty sure that is the same species of wood as the shaft I mentioned in my previous post, which also came in a group of maple dowels. I appreciate the correction.
It does look very similar. But I think I am wrong.
Considering how rare one is versus how common the other is, bet on the more common one.
As soon as I saw your pic I remembered that Joss post though. Pretty obscure, surprised I remembered. But I have synesthesia and think in abstract pictures. My memory is strange and does not work like most.

When Danny and I were working together at Joss Cues we were having difficulty finding clear shaft wood.
After some research we discovered Arieno Blanco, a wood from Central America.
It was a cream color with a fine overall grain.
We made a few shafts and it was very stable but very light and too soft.
We stopped using it very quickly.
