Wood ID Please

[Woodlover]

I have built a table out of my own milled planks (poor boy saw mill) but do not even know what wood it is,it was the biggest trunks I had found and instead of using it for fire wood like usual I thought I would try and build my family a kitchen table.

Would love to know what wood it is if someone here knows.

Pics do it no justice,seems a lot more detail and quilt lines than pics suggest.

Sycamore?

Looks like one of poplar family to me.

looks like it could be either horse chestnut, sycamore or poplar.

 

put up an endgrain shot and this will help identification.

My first thought considering some joinery off cuts I bought for kindling was liriodendron, I guess that falls into the pop bracket.

[se7enthdevil]

liriodendron does not fall into the populus group as it's in the magnoliaceae (magnolias) whereas the populus genus is in the salicaceae (willows).

Never knew that, thought they were quite similar to pops the few times I've worked on them and for some reason thought they were related.

Looks like Sycamore to me.

I'd say maple myself.

Thanks guys...Now I have looked at samples on line of sycamore,maple,horsechestnut and worked poplar once before (this wood is much harder)...I am thinking Sycamore.

Here are the best shots of end grain my phone could take ,hope this helps.And this is with one coat of osmo.
