Hawk Posted May 15, 2024 Report Posted May 15, 2024 Wasn't sure where to put this, but I got a box of seconds from Ocooch and there's one I just can't figure our. So I'm looking for any help on what kind of wood this is. I can tell it heavy and hard like red oak. And cuts like oak. My thought was white oak, but the grain just doesn't fit for me. Your thoughts?

kmmcrafts Posted May 15, 2024 Report Posted May 15, 2024 Kind of resembles Beech I think.. but I could be wrong. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Bill WIlson Posted May 15, 2024 Report Posted May 15, 2024 I agree it's probably white oak, but ash is another possibility. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
Denny Knappen Posted May 15, 2024 Report Posted May 15, 2024 I ordered a box of seconds from Ocooch and requested labels on the boards. Sure, helped in identification. Now back to my wood identification days at the University. OCtoolguy and Hawk 2 Quote

OCtoolguy Posted May 15, 2024 Report Posted May 15, 2024 I've only bought one box of scraps and they were all labeled. Thank goodness. Quote
John M Posted May 16, 2024 Report Posted May 16, 2024 I would definitely say it is Beech. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
Scrappile Posted May 16, 2024 Report Posted May 16, 2024 I absolutely agree with the two posts above mine. Beech. I would send you a picture of some, right now it is on the bottom of my wood pile. I love to cut and use it on something, I want to have a rich warm look. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
Norm Fengstad Posted May 18, 2024 Report Posted May 18, 2024 I say beech as well. very hard, cuts well with # 5 blade but could burn if I dont use tape OCtoolguy 1 Quote
