The guy’s children were doing the sale and didn’t know what this is. It was too beautiful to pass up.
Here’s another angle. The pics are really close to the actual color.

I’m no woodworker, but I’ll at least venture a naive guess and say birdseye maple. You said he’s got other chunks of maple, so maybe that was part of his maple stock?
I don’t think birdseye, but I considered quilted maple. I just haven’t seen it this reddish-orange before. Also, this has “fuzzy” textured areas that make me think more of a cedar like another person said.
