Just reclaimed some half decent 1x4's about 4 feet long from a
pallet. The boards look like walnut, and while not blemish free would
be suitable for small projects. I have some old walnut boards at home
that are at least 50-60 years old and compared to those, these
reclaimed boards seem very light weight. I can't do a direct
comparison right now but was wondering if this wood could be something
else? Some kind of dark colored Asian wood perhaps? It seems pretty
hard, I can just barely make an impression with my thumb nail by
pressing hard and there is no particular odor. Maybe walnut isn't
what it used to be? Thanks for your time.
