Dave, if you rub the saw dust/timber, does it have a waxy feel. Beech is heavier than Cedar and does have a distinct smell. Like Brad says, it looks like white beech, try carving some, it is not as soft as Jelutong but still good to carve. Hope this helps.

Dave I have been using Beech and Red C and look on both as floaters. My next little test run is to make a suspending lure with the smallest bib possible so I am looking for something heavier again.
