Hello all wood detectives --
A quick first impression is that we may be looking at chestnut, especially
if it's from an older house in the northeast.

Hmmmm... hadn't considered that possibility, and you may be right. I still
think it's ash, but I'm less sure of that now than I was previously.

I continue to stand behind my previous statements that it is not any sort of
oak.
