Anybody know what this is?

Hey everybody, I'm not sure where to get an answer to this question so I came here. I was given some wood by a coworker of mine. He doesn't know what type of tree it was from and I'm curious.

 

 

Thanks for the help.

Welcome mate,good post, aint got a clue though. The bark says silver birch?

[Steve Bullman]

Barks misleading, but I believe it may be an Acer of some variety

You guys are great, fast replies and all on topic. I'm impressed. Although I still don't know what conclusion to draw from what you have all said.

 

Is there anything else I could take a picture of to help you find out? Sans a picture of the tree itself.

That looks to me like some wood:thumbup:

Those close medullarys along with the pith look like acer.
