You should get another fiend as I dont know. The closest I get to the anwer is Birch, beach, pear. Definatly not pear. The wood is very light and what Ive seen oak fineer will be the closest available. the grain is simmilar to commercial ply(look like saligna or gum :?: ), but that is to dark. Mr dam your opinion on your bus.
