What type of hardwood is this?

Can someone tell me what type of hardwood this is? I found it in the trash bin in the woodshop and I don’t know what it’s called.



They are designed to quickly frame houses, not be durable furniture.

Can confirm: this stuff is way harder than the studs are. I used the same size pilot hole that I used in the wall studs, and it sheared the heads right off the deck screws.

From looking at pics/grain/color plus your description, my guess is hard or rock maple.

+1 on maple, grain and color are a match.
