Brian Endres Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Can anyone ID this wood? I went to an auction and bought a lumber/sheet good cart that had a mixture of oak, walnut and a bunch of this. I originally thought it was Cherry but once I compared it to some known Cherry boards I am not 100% sure now . Here is the end grain The board on top an the narrow boards in the background are the ones in question. The board with the blue writing is one of my known Cherry examples. What do you guys think?

..Kev Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Still looks like Cherry to me. Just a little more age to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I agree. My vote is cherry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 The picture of the board certainly looks like cherry but that end grain shot is worthless. Needs to be a clean, smooth cut and a quality macro picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Endres Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I have not used much cherry. That boards was planed (took about 1/8" off) right before that picture. 1 minute ago, Eric. said: Needs to be a clean, smooth cut and a quality macro picture. I was in a hurry and was on my way out the door to work when I snapped that picture. I will try to get a better one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Another vote for cherry. Looks identical to some cherry shelves I made awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 If I was a hard core betting man, I would have called a bookie before the polls opened yesterday, but I'd still bet it's cherry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phinds Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm ate to the party but yeah, It's cherry (and I agree w/ Eric about the end grain shot being useless --- if you want wood ID it's always a good idea to get a good clean, well-focused shot of a well-sanded end grain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
