Birch

LOL. I have no idea, but I`m gonna go ahead and rule out mesquite since no one has mentioned that kind of wood.

That sure looks stained to me. What does the bottom look like? is there a finish on that?

I am in the cherry camp.

I'm voting maple

I am not a pro wood guru though some that have already posted receive income from working/selling wood products so I’ll consider them professionals. I’ll stick to cherry though I have been proven wrong many times.

Though only a diy’r, I work with a lot of oak, cherry, maple and other woods. Without a shadow of a doubt it’s not oak. If the piece has been stained it could different types.

I don’t do birch other than Russian Baltic plywood so I don’t have a sample, it is a light white wood though. Took a pic with natural wood and there is a sample with a coat of oil on it to bring out the natural color of the species. Bottom to top, maple, oak and cherry. Most will darken with age.

Driftwood most likely.

White oak I might add. Probably post oak but possibly live oak.

Can you post a pic of the under side if it isn't finished?

Hard to tell with the stain on it. Alot of furniture made with "cherry" is actually made with cheaper birch that is stained with a cherry stain.

It’s post oak which is in the white oak family. You mentioned live oak which is in the red oak family. I cut and mill both. Post oak is by far my favorite over live oak. The later is harder to work with and moves a great deal.

[Kossetx]

Live oak is neither red or white oak but has properties similar to white oaks. I too mill trees and have for many years. These are all made from post oak. Arborday foundation devieds oaks into 3
