Well, for sure, not myrtle/California bay laurel.... I do turn a lot of that. Smell can be one identification factor, and myrtle can have a sweet spicy smell, or can smell like a horse stall... Woods with growth rings that large can be several different ones. Tree of Heaven looks like that, and has tiny pin holes through it, and the only pieces of it I turned had a kind of bitter scent to it. Magnolia can look like that, and what I have turned of it had kind of a turpentine scent to it. It doesn't look like ash, which can be light in color like that. Sweet gum possibly. Not sure...
