Hard maple
toomanyknots:
Here's a strip I couldn't get to break. Granted, it was only 3/32" thick x 1" wide or so, not a full 1/8", but it still reminded me a lot of hickory. It didn't have the spring back hickory would of had though, it kinda took a set, more than a good sapwood hickory strip would. And the grain was all over the place.
Edit: Notice the black burn marks from my abused woodslicer blade, >:D. I just keep cleanin it off, and it just keeps cuttin, it just burns and smokes like hell. Power tools are never gonna be my thing probably, ;D.

Nice coil spring, knothead. You gonna start making wooden mechanism clocks?

Well, I went down today and they cut me a 4" chunk off the side of that slab. 8' of 2"x4" (true dimensions) straight grained maple, 2- 6'10" 2"x2" ipe, one 6'10" 1"x2" Jatoba, and 4" of 1"x4" purpleheart and I was out for $71.
