What kind of wood is this?

Damn Andy. Never enough details. Is it solid, laminated or what?

Details matter. You just never catch on.


It looked like those hardwood floor panels made from frankenbamboo or
some other species. Cabinet makers used to like 'white wood' which was
often poplar. Easy to work, not much grain, and it could be made to look
like anything with a little creativity. Modern technology has mastered
the art.

'White wood' now usually refers to whatever softwood is cheap. Like
stopping by the fish counter at the grocery store you might need a DNA
analysis to figure out what it really is.
