No, I haven't told him that if it was truly antique, he shouldn't have sanded it.

Looks like Birch.

[Allan Speers]

Looks like Birch.

Or Beech. The color is a tad closer to Yellow Birch, though, if that pic is accurate.

[John Blazy]

Those medullary rays say beech for sure.

[Danny Hamsley]

Yes, Beech.

[Lee Schierer]

I agree it is Beech.

[Prashun Patel]

Hmmm, doesn't look like American beech to me, but I've only become intimate with my own trees. Maybe there's variation.

[Dick Strauss]

Life is a beech!

Too much information. :D
