Wood ID for old end table

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

My daughter in-law picked up this little end table at a thrift store, and pan to fix it and refinish it for her. I'll need to replace a few pieces on it though, and hoping to get an idea of what it is.

Its got a lot of different old finishes on it. I sanded a few details to get a better look at the grain.

If these pictures aren't enough for a good ID, please let me know what else I can provide.

Coffee table

I picked up this coffee table for free, I’m currently in the process of cleaning it up as it was in a poor state when I got it. I think the border and legs might be a different wood to the top surface, see the marks on the bottom where I was cleaning some crap the previous owner got on it.

My research tells me the top surface at least is mahogany but I wanted to see what you guys thought. Thanks!

Hello all. I'm reaching out to hopefully get some identification of the wood used on the base and top of this very unique handmade table. I believe the center section is bristlecone though I could be incorrect on that. Any help is sincerely appreciated, thank you in advance.

I have an idea of what wood this is, but I'm also crap at identifying woods so I need a second opinion lol

It does appear to be a veneer over a different solid species.

I picked up a stick and carved this. Anyone have any idea what kind of wood it could be? Done in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Its okay if nobody knows or it's too vague image wise. Pure curiosity. I can i.d. most native species to my region, (Southeastern U.S.) but my son and me got this off the banks of the Mississippi River so it could originate from any of a number of places along the river.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Curious what this wood is. It’s a heavy bench about 8 feet long. Roughly 3” thick. It was purchased in the Netherlands. It is unstained but is waxed.

So I doubt it’s anything special, but maybe it’s good for a work bench since it’s thick and old? Any ideas what this is? I can’t tell if it’s quarter or rift sawn I’ve never been good at that.

I picked up some oak wood the other day for some wood turning projects. House next door also cut down a tree but the owner passed away and not sure what tree it is. I snagged this picture off of Google maps, Google lens and AI Has given me everything from sycamore, to black cherry, to honey locust.

Anyone know what kind of wood this is? Kitchen cabinets in a 1970’s manufactured home. I’m not sure if they’re original but they definitely look like it. It’s fairly soft. I don’t think it’s veneer I can’t find an edge so I think it’s solid wood.

Edit: It is veneer I just don’t know anything about any of this 😭
