Ok your welcome to get out any jokes about identifying wood now and apologies if I'm in the wrong section of the forum but I couldn't see a better place to post.

But I need a little bit of help identify a plank of wood that I recently acquired, I know there are certain types of wood that shouldn't be used for scales so I'm hoping this isn't one of them.

Apologies for the pics but it's the best I can do with the lighting available right now.

Its just about perfect in thickness to be ripped into two thin lengths each two foot long, it has the ability to become a lot of razor scales lol, plus. It was free so if I stuff up making scales then I've lost nothing but some time.

Any help would be appreciated.
