Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
Would Ash do this?
I have a few boards that did this, seems because it was more wormy than the rest?

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
I thought it looked like oak as well...
What was the most readily available hardwood timber in the area 120 years ago?

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
Looks like oak from here, too. I've been lucky enough to work with some of the old stuff, and it has a nice aroma, but nothing like the new oak...
Have you asked over at Woodworking Talk? Some of those guys are pretty keen. |

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
My vote is for white oak. My dad would say "oh that's some old German Pine"

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
what about heart pine? seeing as your house is 'that' old the tight growth rings may fit the picture. If it's been gouged over the years (furniture, dog nails, etc...) consider it a softwood...so is it a softwood or hardwood?

Re: Ok, Now I Am Confused
The little pores look oak like...
I would try to run a scew throught it, oak always splits on me if I try to screw it. Then cut a few pieces and snort the saw dust and see how much it irritates your nostrels.
