(Scott Lurndal) was heard to mutter:
Looks a bit like quartersawn sycamore for the secondary (draw bottom) wood.

Could be for the drawer bottoms, sides, etc,.

Drawer front is much darker as is entire outside. I could not get a
photo of the back when I took these but the back paint is quite peeled
and very dark wood. I don't think oak. Grain looks wrong.

Woodard was known for mahogany furniture but also other Michigan
woods, including pine. This is too heavy and dense for pine.

Going to see if I can get more paint off with a heat gun. Also going
to try and get a photo of the back and bottom.
