Hey everyone,
Just moved into a new house, and planning some projects but needed some help. House was built in the '50s (in Wisconsin), midcentury modern, and essentially all of the original wood trim/details have been left intact. However, I'm trying to build a piece for the living room, and trying to match some of the original cabinetry. From some research and based on location, my guess is that it's something like beech, birch or maple. All would have been readily available here at the time, and it seems that birch was a common choice for interior mouldings/cabinetry. Doesn't quite look like maple to me...but who knows. I have included some pictures, and any guesses would be welcomed.
Thanks!
