Unknown wood

I have managed to get quite a bit of time in the shed lately which makes a change.

I am not sure where this wood came from but I have a couple of pieces of this and this is the first to be turned. I tried to keep the form simple to show off the wood.

A nice simple finish of sander sealer and beeswax which I brought off of a local beekeeper who mixes it with a hard wax possibly carnauba

Measures 8" X 2 1/2"

Those flecks in it make it look a little like the sycamore pot a turned a few months back.

I like the shape too.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

I had some beech that was flecked like that, I think it could be the start of the spalting in the wood.
+1 for the shape.

Thank you all. I think from various forums that it is beech.
Here is a close up of an unturned blank
