Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
white oak...looks just like a large lot of white oak 2x8 (real dim's) warehouse planking I 'salvaged'. Turned it into library shelving-but even for 30-35yr old wood it had the smell of oak when ripping/planing it down.

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
Looks like oak to me. Maybe you can take it to a lumber yard or flooring place and see what they say.

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
My first thought was white oak too but can't see any rays.Ash often looks like white oak.

I know it's not ash, all the trim in the house is though.

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
It does look kind of like old growth ash.
I've got a table and two chests made of it. Got an old Louisville slugger you can cut to compare the smell? I'd know it, but I can't describe it any better than I can describe a color to a woman.

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
I have an ash floor that I had milled from all the brown ash that my supplier has not been able to unload for years. Ash in the most poular state is nice and white. Yours could have a lot of brown in it.
This has a stain on it  Halle Berry wants to help too.   She is leaning towards ash.

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
At first I thought red oak, until I saw the end grain. That is not oak, I am thinking hickory or elm.

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
Now that we got all these wood experts in one thread i got a question. We ran that ash wainscoting and the HO is a timber man. His dad had a saw mill and all this lumber was air dried. We always deal with kiln dried stuff and he had us space the boards out of the corner 1/2 an inch because he said it would expand more because he said it was air dried not kiln. Seemed odd to me wouldnt air dry have a higher moisture content more in line with whatever the outside humidity was?

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
That's another thing, this is old. House is 120 years old, so just thing how old this lumber is.

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
I've cut lots of hundred plus year old
lumber that still has the same smell inside.
