It's a piece of cheap wood as evidenced by the fact that it's joined together with many small pieces. It's not something that's typically finished, exposed, that has to match, etc. |

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. |

Details matter. You just never catch on. Cursing not necessary. I gave a picture. If it's wood it is a solid as opposed to a gas or liquid. :-) It is not made of layers per say but looks to be made of pieces of wood attached to each other. When I looked at it from the side, I saw finger joints. Since it is not cut from solid wood, it may be for underlayment. Just a guess. Looks like everyone is stumped. Andy |
