I picked this up from an arborist who lives near my parents. He has monster piles of wood and needed to get rid of them, and I grabbed a bunch. I don't know what this is, never did, he wasn't sure. It is a brown wood, that makes me kind of think of Canarywood, but it is definitely not. It has some color, different browns, some tans, even streaks or layers of a rusty red. One of the eggs is finished in a couple coats of tung oil. Bark shot included, if it helps the ID.

How bout walnut? There used to be lots of it around on the front range, until the thousand canker disease got to it. Usually walnut would have light sap wood, but sometimes the color of the heart wood bleeds into it.

Otherwise, it kinda looks like fruitwood from an old, irrigated tree, maybe apple, though the brown color is not typical. Plum can have some really interesting colors, like pink and purple. Not sure about brown.
