It is quite impossible to ID such a wood from such a picture.
Could be any of a number of woods.
Taking a wild stab in the dark, maple would be the odds-on bet.

Looks like monkey pod(aka raintree)..sorta... that wood, some is similiar in
color to maple, is used for a lot of imported wood furniture(& etc) from
S.E. Asia, S. America and Hawaii(not native).

Maple

When blown up, it looks like soft-maple but for that project, either would
work just fine. Soft maples are the species that have predominate birds-eye
and fiddleback in their grain whereas the hard maple species tend to have
straight grain.

None other. My first thought was "sure looks like sugar maple to me."
