He did not mention sycamore, which in my reading says was/is common among many European makers. We have a LOT of sycamore around here as well, and even when not figured the quartered is quite beautiful, very similar to silky oak/lacewood only with a smaller pattern.

Common names for wood can be confusing - European and US common names can be the same for different species.
I think this may be the case for sycamore, sometimes. (?)
