A woodworker friend suggested it might be alder, apple, or maybe acacia (but there are so many varieties of acacia — not even sure where I would begin). I’m attaching some photos and can take more if needed. Thanks!

We use several thousand board feet per year in guitar making and rarely see it at 28lbs per cuft
