Wood with light green tint
 

I have a chest that i am restoring and after getting layers of paint off i found that the wood has a light green tiny to it and is good looking peace, i was wondering what type of wood it is and what type of stain would bring out the best result.

It could be any wood but with a green tint it could be poplar.

Stains will mask a wood appearance. If you want to enhance the existing
grain and simply want to add a layer of protection clear varnish will be
fine.

Poplar can have a green tint, but it changes to tan/brown tones with
exposure to light, even with a clear finish.

I vote poplar, also.

Magnolia has green steaks in it, sometimes.
