No pictures, and a conclusive answer isn't really necessary. I just thought maybe someone would know.
It was sold as "oak." It comes from somewhere in the far east. It looks vaguely oak like, but it has sort of a coral pink cast to it, and the grain structure reminds me of ash
It seems to be on the soft side. A bit harder than poplar maybe, but not as hard as red oak. It seems to be very stringy, and it's easy to split off big pieces if you try to chisel out too much at a time.
I ended up letting my son practice chiseling hinge mortises in a couple pieces of the stuff because I don't like the wood enough to pull all the staples out of it.
I'm just wondering what it might be. I realize I won't get a definitive answer. Especially without pictures.
