Wood ID help

I recovered quite a few of these boards from pallets. It’s very light in weight. Soft wood I’m assuming. It’s really pretty once planed and sanded. Lots of pores it soaks up resin or any kind of varnish. I’m trying my hardest to figure out what it is with no luck.

Be careful. It looks to me like a tropical hardwood probably a fast growing genetically modified tree. It looks like very wide growth rings which means that its going to move around a lot with humidity changes.

The pallets did say heat treated when I was taking the pallets apart.

It looks like cedar to me which is pretty lousy for firewood

I might guess catalpa.

Definitely not cedar eastern or western. And I’m not using it for firewood. I use it for decorative signs.

Wow I think you hit it spot on. Just did some research on that and it seems the same.
