bandaideman Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Just wondered if anyone could identify this wood grain. Is it by chance like pine. Hope the attachment works. not good at this. I will be making something for a crib which is the same grain. they are asking to have done in pine. and they will paint themselves but I suspect it will be stained.

SCROLLSAW703 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I don't know about the poplar. Looks to dark for poplar. I'd have to say red elm, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Whatever it is that is a great looking crib. SCROLLSAW703 and WayneMahler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 If it's going to be painted don't matter as much as what the base wood is. What matters the most is wood movement with seasonal change. Just throwing out a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson56 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Poplar does turn dark over time.a blueish grey. I would have to go with the elm also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberta Moreton Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Poplar can definitely have a greenish hue also. I vote poplar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I am leaning towards poplar. I would prefer it over pine if it is being painted, I don't like it for stain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
