why they're DOOR wood, of course !
I honestly couldn't tell just from cutting it ( ie; the smell or color ) I suspect some of it is pine. I'm sure, given the year , that it's all local timber, either Oak, Hickory, Pine,or Cherry but it could be Birch, Maple, Walnut, etc. too .
I'll strip the finish on the pieces I'll be using and really dig into it better than what I have so far, which was slice n stack. The grain on some of the pieces is tight tight and I'm stoked to get one of the boxy- ones going. I'm feelin a real boxcar-hobo vibe comin on for those.
I scored a killer lookin Ash mirror frame from the same attic thats gettin the re-birth treatment too.
