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.

Chestnut is often used in the houses around here. While I have poplar on
the top two floors, some of the grander houses have chestnut on the floor
just above the parlor floor.
