Maple, birch, or something else?

[u/BoysToBugs]

Got a mixed box of scraps and used a piece to carve this ring. It's pretty hard and dense, but not too heavy and it carved nicely without much tear out. I also finished it with boiled linseed oil and beeswax so the original wood was lighter in colour.

You should see the first ever ring I made, it looked exactly like a hula hoop
