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?

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
