Tree Stump(ed)

[Hiijinx]

Hello all,

 

Recently got this trunk from a wood recycling yard and would like to know what sort of wood it is - a tough task since it has no leaves and is over a year old.

 

I will be using it as decor for a Degu cage and have to watch out for certain woods to which they are toxic.

 

I am in South east UK but no telling where this wood came from.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Hiijinx

 

PS I washed it down so looks a bit darker than it really is.

Maple I would say

Lime?

Maple.

Ash would be my punt

Ash would be my punt

I would guess Lime seeing as the bark is peeling off so much.
