Looks like golden locust to me on glance but UV would distinguish it from, say, mulberry. Bark looks more gleditsia than morus. But I’m not in Texas nor am I Eric o:)

Not sure on ID, but at least superficially the grain resembles a mahogany-like wood.

I found this lovely trivet “sampler” at Value Village in Toronto, Ontario and would love to identify at least SOME of the 12 wood types found in it. Any assistance would be greatlly appreciated!

At first I thought it may be a birch but the open pores on the face grain threw me off. It is a diffuse porous wood

Looks like chestnut to me.

Looks like one of the denser US-native softwoods, like southern yellow pine or Douglas fir.

No idea what it is because I picked it up from an estate sale. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers and thanks!

Looks like black walnut to me.

I found this it at an estate sale and sanded down the top. There is quite a bit of water damage. I’m wondering what was used so I can stain it properly.

Trying to determine the wood used in an antique office chair (Milwaukee Chair Co., dated roughly 1880-1910). Fine and somewhat rare Captain’s Chair design. During restoration, removing old worn finish, the wood remained a reddish hue so I’m guessing cherry. Thanks for the help!

I live in Malaysia and rubberwood would be the most likely. We are one of if not the biggest cultivators of rubber trees in the world.

That is a softwood. Possibly something like pine or fir.

I think it’s walnut. It’s smells like walnut.
