After studying the wood database, I'm really thinking sycamore. Any thoughts? The 1st pic is a random board, 2nd end grain & the 3rd is the headboard I just built. Look @ the middle board. On a scrap piece, I applied polyurethane as a test & it turns a real deep red( almost like rust)! This came out of a barn I just bought. Both the barn & I reside in Northeast TN.
I agree with some others. The board on the right in the first picture looks like cherry to me. The board on the left is either sap wood or some other species. I use a good bit of quarter sawn sycamore and I have never seen it that color.
