Hawk Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 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?

Bill WIlson Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I agree it's probably white oak, but ash is another possibility. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 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. Hawk and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I've only bought one box of scraps and they were all labeled. Thank goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 I would definitely say it is Beech. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
