It seemed a lot softer than basswood. Almost like balsa, but slightly firmer. Probably some local Chinese wood.

It had a fairly strong smell when routed, which didn't seem much like anything else I have come across, but I don't pretend to have very wide experience of different timbers. Nearly as strong a smell as cedar but utterly unlike it is probably the best I can manage. Yes, I'd say it was a hardwood, but in no way a hard wood[grin].
