What species do you think this is? White Oak? Maple?

Probably white altho somewhat lacking in the amount of flecked showing...but it could have been graded to have had them separated out. Not impossible to be red, but would expect a few darker in such an area, but again that depends on source as to what would be rare/unusual/common mix. Need some end grain up close to be able to say for certain. -- |

Need some end grain up close to be able to say for certain. Perhaps grey ash?? Dunno about that. I'm familiar with American white ash, green, blue, pumpkin, asian an a couple other ashes but never heard of a "grey" ash. Neither US FPL Handbook nor Hoadley have any such thing listed... Most ash would be even more ring-porous obvious so I'm still leaning towards an oak. But, it's really difficult to be certain from just a picture. -- |

I can't see the edges, but I'd be very surprised if they used a thick slab of white oak on top of an mostly MDF carcass. From where I'm sitting I'd guess laminated particle board. Might not even be real wood laminate. |

The side tables are what I questioned. Oh. So much glare on those impossible to say much, if anything. My first guess there was they were just laminate counter tops. If it is actually veneered, could be most any white hardwood from what can see. -- |

It didn't sell and it's still at Mom's house. I'll look from the inside to see if I can discover something, if it's important to know. I had spray painted the whole exterior a regal green. Sonny |
