Well the LOML wants me to build a sofa table to match this piece. Unfortunately, I'm a sieve when it comes to identifying wood.

Can anyone tell me what this species is?

Agreed. The dark spots, tight grain, and somewhat blotchy finish (no offense intended- all of my finishes on cherry get a little bit of that no matter what I do) all point to cherry.

Thanks, guys.

Typical commercial furniture, so I'm not at all offended.

Now if my version gets blotchy, it's all on me.
