Driving around I saw where somebody had a tree cut down in their front yard. I stopped to ask about it and was told to help myself. The guy told me he thought it was maple. What do you all think?

Whatever it is, it looks like it's cutting nicely. Kind of buttery looking wood.

I don't know if Tom was giving a clue or not - but I really think that is a Butternut Log - in the Walnut family.

Very maplesque
color is right; bark is right
hard to tell from how it cuts on the lathe because, I assume it's green (still wet with sap)...
How did it cut on the bandsaw?
Butternut is very light when dry, soft to a fingernail or tool...
Even wet maple is hard to the fingernail
