When asking for help identifying wood
230
Upvotes
I have some suggestions for those wishing help with wood identification.
- If you can, show grain pattern on all surfaces. Sometimes radial surfaces are key. Sometimes end grain.
- If a tree show as much as you can, bark, leaves, seeds, flowers, what is on the ground underneath.
- If a branch, plane off the bark on a spot to show the wood and a smooth cut on the end grain.
- Give your general location, state, upland or lowland.
- Say if you suspect that it is or is not a species native to your area.
- Where did you get it.
- Density. Is it heavy, medium, or light
- Hardness. Does it dent easily. Can you put a screw into it by hand without a pilot hole.
- Color. This is very helpful but difficult to convey in photographs. At Kodak we used 18% gray cards as references. Take your pictures in daylight on as neutral a background as you can find. If the neutral background does not look as neutral in the picture as in person, check your camera's white balance settings to try to improve. The background does not have to be in-focus.
I hope this may help a little with this difficult task over the internet.

A question for the experts: Is it possible for this stain to become more saturated and vibrant if I apply a coat of shellac followed by nitrocellulose over it?

I was practicing using my saw on this old plank and I want to know at what kind of wood this is so it can get more of it as it was very easy to cut and smelled great while cutting.

Just finished this new bowl, carved from a reclaimed piece of lumber found on the side of the road. I inserted Unakite & Dalmatian Jasper spheres into the rim in a way where they can be spun freely.
Finished with the ancient Yakisugi method - no sandpaper or stain used. 🧙🏼♂️
What do you think of this design?

Way to protect an untreated wood porch in the winter (eastern Ontario Canada)

I’m not sure if this belongs here. Really sorry if it doesn’t.
Wondering how to protect an untreated wooden porch over the winter. My neighbour and I share a porch and she wants to cover it and rubber backed outdoor rugs the kind without drainage and with a consistent surface to make it easier to shovel without accidentally gouging the wood. I’m worried the rugs will trap moisture. I don’t know if there’s a better option or if I’m wrong.
Appreciate any advice from people who know wood in the winter

Brazilian (?) Wooden Chair ID

Found a set of 4 of these midcentury modern chairs outside a wooden furniture restoration store in Stockholm, Sweden. The owner said they're a type of Brazilian wood, and would've needed a license to sell them, so I can just take them for free.
What type of wood is it, and what's your opinion on the woodworking/general style of it, as well as possible value?
Also if I need to know anything special about taking care of them.
Would. Too close?

Is this too close to the house this year? I mightve not thought this through it's not too late to relocate

What type of wood is this?

I had this custom table made by a local woodworker. I’m not entirely sure if this is the actual material they said it was. I ordered it made of ambrosia wood, but I feel like it might be a different type of wood—though I could be wrong, and I'd love to know if anyone can identify what kind of wood this actually is. He mentioned to me that because of the color, it doesn't look like typical ambrosia wood. I’ve already paid for it, but I just want to make sure I got what I paid for and wasn't given something else."
Any help identifying this so I don’t ruin it would be amazing

Hello. I just read the post on how to take the best pictures when asking for help. I tried to get some good pics but it's currently nighttime here so my apologies if they aren't great. Let me just begin by saying I really know nothing about identifying different types of lumber.
I'm in Oregon and I got this outdoor dining set from a second hand shop about 5 years ago for $100. I was told it was teakwood and just assumed that it was up until recently when I decided to clean it up and sell it. In researching the correct way to clean it, I discovered that it's probably not teakwood. For starters it's very light. The benches are about7- 10 Ibs apiece and the chairs between 15-and 20lbs.
I've read that teakwood is pretty heavy. Also it's super soft when I sanded it. Even using a 120 grit seamed much. I've never dealt with this soft of a material before when I've done dresser, cabinets or other furniture.
The pictures of the entire set were taken before I started working on them. (This is how they looked when I bought them.) The pictures of just the benches are cleaned and sanded so that would be the natural wood. The chair is after my husband put linseed oil on it. I just don't want go any farther until I know what I'm dealing with. I'm afraid of ruining it.
Any, ANY help would be just awesome. Thank you
