What type of wood is this??

It looks a little light, but my guess would be burled Walnut.

Way too light for walnut!

Pecan?

Elm

I vote for Carpathian Elm Burl.

I don't have a clue what kind of wood it is, but sure wish I had some! It's bueatiful.

I don't want any. I'd probably cry like a baby when I screwed it up!

The owner told me it is Birds Eye Walnut

I'm 100% confident that it's beautiful wood!

...Actually my first guess was burled elm, but it's nothing more than a guess.

Here's a link to some pics of carpathian elm:

I can agree with that, with one caveat. It looks like Birdseye ENGLISH Walnut.

What is/was it? A countertop? A bar top?

I think it looks like a conference table.
