From the variety of answers it would seem that it doesn't matter

Speak for yourself. I can. It's ash.

Ash is frequently mistaken for oak, as this thread clearly
illustrates. But
oak has unmistakable ray flakes plainly visible in quartersawn
grain. The
absence of this figure is absolute proof that the wood in Don's
photograph is unquestionably *not* oak.


No, it is not proof of any such thing. See previous reply above.
