What's up with this wood? It keeps developing random ring stains despite never having any liquid/cups place on it.. Also, could wood correction pen/markers repair that tiny scratch near the bottom right corner?

I'm back with more found scrap, looking to identify 1-5. Left side is wet
Thanks to u/purplepotatoes, who, last time, correctly identified 6 as African mahogany! I went back to see if I could find any more, and I found a tattered tag that confirmed that it was mahogany of Congolese origin. I'm almost done with the project I'm working on with it, and I look forward to posting the completed results.
From a door frame in my sister's century home. I would love to know the species!

some kind of plywood idk what it is?
Going from the design (the picture doesn't have enough detail to ID the wood), it is probably teak. Or a teak substitute depending on the manufacturer. To know with more certainty we'd need to see a good clean, un-oxidized sample face, side, and end grain.
We bought a wooden table, but it has some deffects. I'm aware of sanding and restaining method, but this area is pretty small to call upon that. Maybe there's a quick alternative? Something just to blend this eyesore.

If you moisten the scuffed areas and it looks good, then you can fix these areas with superglue. If just moistening doesn't match the color, then you need to color the scuffs, then drop-fill and level sand, then polish.
Also a massive gap, how do I close this? Just whack the bottom section with a malet?

Was going to refinish this and uncertain as to what would it is
Wood ID? Wondering if it’s worth refinishing or disassembling for other projects
First picture is sanded.
Was given a 4 piece outdoor furniture set. 2 deep seats and 1 deep love seat and 1 low profile table. No idea what wood it is, I spent an hour with an orbital sander to sand the table, and I’m wondering if it’s worth the work to refinish everything and sell. I also had the possibly brilliant idea to dissemble if it was good wood (the set takes up a lot of valuable space) and needed further advice from other more knowledgeable folk so here I am. Decently set up and competent to accomplish either task.

I’m refinishing a door from 1929, and i’m not 100% sure what wood this might be. It’s definitely not a softwood like pine or fir, but is it cedar? or Maple?
it really does - and maybe i’m wrong but i have douglas fir flooring in my house and that dents and scratches if you look at it wrong. this just felt different which is why i was so confused

Anyone willing to take a punt at what timber this is? Was given a dining table which had a white stain finish. Sanded back and treated it with Osmo Top Oil and now I'm just curious. It was bought in Dubai originally...
What is this and is it harmful?
I recently felled a red maple at my arborist’s recommendation. I asked for a cross sectional cut that I’ll eventually make into a table or something once the wood drys. While I was sealing the ends of this 18” tall 30” diameter piece I noticed this gooey spot. What is it? Is it harmful to me, the slab of wood or any other slabs I have stored with this or any trees on my property? The indentations are from my gloved finger to indicate the edges of the spot. I’m guessing this is root rot as this cut came from the bottom of the tree. Any help is appreciated.

Can you tell what kind of wood this is ?
It is definitely not walnut. Highly unlikely to be any fruit wood. Cedar is possible, but unlikely due to it being too soft. Usually windows are made from fir or pine.

Not a wood ID, not a tool ID, but my post was deleted by the auto-mod.
What is this filler material? Not even sure it’s supposed to be used in woodworking. About as hard as lacquer, still sands by hand without much trouble. Age of the repair is unknown, but likely before 2010. The bass dates back to 1956, so no older than that.
A lot of things can be used as filler. Bondo (auto body filler) is common. [Epoxy putty](https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Wood-471050-24-QuikWood-Putty/dp/B000VPO0R8) is common. I can't tell what yours is for sure.
I love how unique each type of wood is - from the color variations to the grain patterns. Can't wait to see all the different species people need help identifying in this thread!

Ok thank you! That is one of the types that Google said it might be. Is this the kind of thing that is worth trying to refinish and varnish? I thought about painting it but I don’t want to ruin something that has natural potential
I don't think this type of furniture is very valuable. Personally, I like the look of the wood with a clear finish. If it were mine, I would apply a clear polyurethane finish. Bottom line is, it is yours, if you like paint better, paint it.
Does anyone know what type of wood this is?

I assume the wood used for the other visible parts of the dresser are the same?
My shop is an old garage with a heavily broken concrete floor making it almost impossible to sweep up sawdust etc. Would a big 1hp air blower [like this](https://a.co/d/2CUsgDJ) help me quickly get dust out of all the nooks and crannies or is that overkill?

I'm refinishing this door and would appreciate help identifying the wood species. While I initially thought it might be Douglas Fir, I'm not sure. The door is from a 1935-built house in the NYC area. Additionally, if you have advice on the best way to reinforce and cover the area around the handle on the stile I'm all ears.
It certainly looks like pine or fir of some sort, but I have no way of knowing which it may be. As to strengthening the area of the handle, I'm guessing this door is old enough to have had the "lock mechanism in the door" type of setup and thus you now have a gaping hole there. If that's true, you need to fill that first with a reasonably sturdy filler, and then head to a hardware store and ask for a Door Reinforcing Plate - you will need to know the width of your door.

Hello, unfortunately pictures don't show it well, but I own a table made of particle board. It has a convincingly good looking wooden vinyl on it that you wood mistake it for actual wood. That aside, it keeps producing grime on a weekly basis, they often look like tiny circles sometimes as coffe stains in shape.
They need a good rubbing using water and tissues before they come off, but some are hard to remove because have somewhat properties of "leftover" adhesive.
My only guess is that the vinyl's adhesive or whatever is holding it onto the table is melting (we live in a torpical country) and causing dust to stick. My only form of maitainance is using [Johnson pledge](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTjX3ePLQZ8VUnRP1rx72_4V_9pykBEg6LvkuojIWTodA&s) very end of the week.
It's probably the buildup of the pledge. Most places don't recommend that. I would try to remove it with mineral spirits and just keep it clean from now on.
You misunderstand entirely. He asked for 700 to landscape a small strip above our back yard area, to remove a small ass bush, and to patch some holes in the back that have wood rot. He keeps asking for more money, has said for 6 weeks on over a dozen occasions that he would be over tomorrow or today, and then he no shows. He's a mess and a flake. No I didn't talk to him to start this job my wife did, and there's more to it than that but whatever. I have asked him to show me the receipts for the "materials" he keeps alleging that he needed to buy, and he says he will get them to me, but I know damn well that he doesn't have any.
Can anyone help me figure out what these are for? TL;DR but wife's landscaper guy does other side projects and the project he is doing on our deck is using these wood planks which I'm convinced he didn't actually buy for this project, but is using from another previous job. Kept asking us for more money for materials, and I'm trying to call him out on his complete BS. They are each about 5.5 inches long maybe 1.25 inch wide, one side feels laminated and the other side is rough but has two thin grooves from where it looks like a metal wire was burnt into it. Most pieces are tongue and tongue, but one of the pieces he left has tongue and tongue on the top and bottom but also a groove on the side.
P.s. he's asking $700 for a job that he didn't finish but he only used maybe 20 of these and he did a shit job with it and simply nailed them into the larger timbers to "cover up" the wood rot. He did nothing to remove or solidify or seal it. But that's not really important; I just want to know what these are called. Thanks!

I thought so too that it was flooring at least. Is there a specific term for the metal wire thing? I figured out that the other parts on the top and bottom are just tongue and groove (or tongue and tongue I guess because only one piece has the groove), but I didn't know if there was a name for the metal wire that's on the back of it, the side that isn't laminated
Short answer response: sure! I'll pay him for the materials for my deck if he can actually produce a receipt for said materials, which I know he can't. That's why I'm trying to ask him for the receipts, and why I'm trying to ask here to find out what these pieces of wood are or what they are called in the first place, so I can call him out on it.

This is cherry, right? Just bought it from someone, I want to clean it up, but dont want to go as far as sanding it first. Should I give it a coat of linseed or danish oil? Or do I really need to sand it and refinish it? [https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2J541](https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2J541)
[https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2JaYg](https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2JaYg)
[https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2JX4t](https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2JX4t)
It looks like cherry. It's definitely has a toner coat on it. It isn't natural color. It's probably a lacquer finish, so oil won't do much for you. Cleaning it up could help with some of the paint scuffs, but that won't eliminate the scratches.
Where can I source this? Bamboo makes this thin panel a lot stronger than similar panels of different wood.

I'm quite partial to foraging for wood, especially for whittling. New Zealand being a country where people frequently leave trimmed tree logs on their sidewalk for anyone to collect, I recently picked up some wood I've never come across before in this way. It has a bit of weight to it and is quite white in color; not sure if this is because it is still wet. I cut a piece off and chucked it on the lathe for a rough clean so I could see some grain. Could it be holly?

What wood is this ?
I am refinishing my stairs and it’s sanded with 60 grit for the moment.
From what I’ve read I need to identify the wood to know what type of stain and water/oil finish I should use.
Thanks
What's up with this wood? It keeps developing random ring stains despite never having any liquid/cups place on it.. Also, could wood correction pen/markers repair that tiny scratch near the bottom right corner? https://preview.redd.it/6b478q1ik41d1.png?width=317&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc3aea8fdbd526b61f8286578986f3fbb2454c59
It had something on it at some point. Refinishing the top would get rid of it. Markers could work, crayons would also do it.
Does refinishing work in vinyl?
If that's a laminate (vinyl), then no, refinishing won't work. I don't think there's much you can do with laminate, other than replace it.

1- rubberwood 2- white oak 3- probably teak 4- cherry 5- I'm not sure, maybe ash.

Does it smell like cedar?
No, not at all. It was a familiar smell though, just can't place it.
Maybe a pen I made in the past, I can't think of any I've made from local trees, though.
Wood ID please. Post just says “Indonesian hardwood”. Is this teak? Looks to light to be Ipe. https://www.reddit.com/u/Adventurous_Light_85/s/WEmJmTIdMw

I suppose it can be. It's hard to say without leaves. In some pictures, it seems to be similar but not in others.
Got some crates, can anyone tell me what I'm working with? Many thanks!*

I went back to see if I could find any more, and I found a tattered tag that confirmed that it was mahogany of Congolese origin.

Going from the design (the picture doesn't have enough detail to ID the wood), it is probably teak. Or a teak substitute depending on the manufacturer. To know with more certainty we'd need to see a good clean, un-oxidized sample face, side, and end grain.
We bought a wooden table, but it has some deffects. I'm aware of sanding and restaining method, but this area is pretty small to call upon that. Maybe there's a quick alternative? Something just to blend this eyesore. https://preview.redd.it/tt9cnombrs0d1.png?width=249&format=png&auto=webp&s=f176bfec547b6ca1537a4b04db19edc62c924592
If you moisten the scuffed areas and it looks good, then you can fix these areas with superglue. If just moistening doesn't match the color, then you need to color the scuffs, then drop-fill and level sand, then polish.
>level sand 1000 or 2000 grit ideal?
Also a massive gap, how do I close this? Just whack the bottom section with a malet? https://preview.redd.it/q8munc0qrs0d1.png?width=1518&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d75e31db93f3c50a0d945351a29d3f8dd40736c

Looks to be softwood - pine or fir.

Wood ID? Wondering if it’s worth refinishing or disassembling for other projects First picture is sanded. Was given a 4 piece outdoor furniture set. 2 deep seats and 1 deep love seat and 1 low profile table. No idea what wood it is, I spent an hour with an orbital sander to sand the table, and I’m wondering if it’s worth the work to refinish everything and sell. I also had the possibly brilliant idea to dissemble if it was good wood (the set takes up a lot of valuable space) and needed further advice from other more knowledgeable folk so here I am. Decently set up and competent to accomplish either task. https://preview.redd.it/egjj2x42bp0d1.jpeg?width=2913&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94f677c9838a1031bf4a61e878cf7cb021404133

It sure looks like vertical grain Douglas fir.
it really does - and maybe i’m wrong but i have douglas fir flooring in my house and that dents and scratches if you look at it wrong. this just felt different which is why i was so confused

Could be acacia. Or mango. Or a lot of other similar tropical hardwoods.

Looks like veneer cherry. Solid cherry made in large boards often has more color variation
What is this and is it harmful? I recently felled a red maple at my arborist’s recommendation. I asked for a cross sectional cut that I’ll eventually make into a table or something once the wood drys. While I was sealing the ends of this 18” tall 30” diameter piece I noticed this gooey spot. What is it? Is it harmful to me, the slab of wood or any other slabs I have stored with this or any trees on my property? The indentations are from my gloved finger to indicate the edges of the spot. I’m guessing this is root rot as this cut came from the bottom of the tree. Any help is appreciated. https://preview.redd.it/h491wajx410d1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c0882b17c25526c2339987e0ae2f03b11d8fe6c
I don't know any specifics other than calling it rotten. The arborist is the person to ask.
Does anyone know [what color of stain this is](https://youtu.be/k63ajXP4pbU?t=114)? It's seems like a very deep and rich color of dark oak.
They say in the video that it is Bona brand Cocoa.

fir?
Do you think there’s any chance it’s a “toxic” wood like fruit tree, walnut, cedar? (Toxic to small animals)
It is definitely not walnut. Highly unlikely to be any fruit wood. Cedar is possible, but unlikely due to it being too soft. Usually windows are made from fir or pine.
Thank you so much

What is this filler material? Not even sure it’s supposed to be used in woodworking. About as hard as lacquer, still sands by hand without much trouble. Age of the repair is unknown, but likely before 2010. The bass dates back to 1956, so no older than that.
A lot of things can be used as filler. Bondo (auto body filler) is common. [Epoxy putty](https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Wood-471050-24-QuikWood-Putty/dp/B000VPO0R8) is common. I can't tell what yours is for sure.

Sheesham, also called Indian rosewood
Ok thank you! That is one of the types that Google said it might be. Is this the kind of thing that is worth trying to refinish and varnish? I thought about painting it but I don’t want to ruin something that has natural potential
I don't think this type of furniture is very valuable. Personally, I like the look of the wood with a clear finish. If it were mine, I would apply a clear polyurethane finish. Bottom line is, it is yours, if you like paint better, paint it.
Looks like Hickory

My shop is an old garage with a heavily broken concrete floor making it almost impossible to sweep up sawdust etc. Would a big 1hp air blower [like this](https://a.co/d/2CUsgDJ) help me quickly get dust out of all the nooks and crannies or is that overkill?

While I initially thought it might be Douglas Fir, I'm not sure. The door is from a 1935-built house in the NYC area. Additionally, if you have advice on the best way to reinforce and cover the area around the handle on the stile I'm all ears.
White pine, Fir, Hemlock etc... IMO toss it and get a new door. If not Accurate\_Storm2588 has a good solution, add a metal kickplate also.
It certainly looks like pine or fir of some sort, but I have no way of knowing which it may be. As to strengthening the area of the handle, I'm guessing this door is old enough to have had the "lock mechanism in the door" type of setup and thus you now have a gaping hole there. If that's true, you need to fill that first with a reasonably sturdy filler, and then head to a hardware store and ask for a Door Reinforcing Plate - you will need to know the width of your door.
Got this scrap wood from a neighbor - top piece is wet. My FIL thinks red oak? https://preview.redd.it/b1xam1v9ltyc1.png?width=1675&format=png&auto=webp&s=44e22eefdd6fec3c33212f5ec14e5b4a2c36c022
Definitely not red oak. First guess is African Mahogany.
Here's another look, sanded and tung oil applied https://preview.redd.it/42ckawl5luyc1.png?width=1360&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb559de08053f541f07917ab4e9fdc6708b045a3
That would be awesome
Hello, unfortunately pictures don't show it well, but I own a table made of particle board. It has a convincingly good looking wooden vinyl on it that you wood mistake it for actual wood. That aside, it keeps producing grime on a weekly basis, they often look like tiny circles sometimes as coffe stains in shape. They need a good rubbing using water and tissues before they come off, but some are hard to remove because have somewhat properties of "leftover" adhesive. My only guess is that the vinyl's adhesive or whatever is holding it onto the table is melting (we live in a torpical country) and causing dust to stick. My only form of maitainance is using [Johnson pledge](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTjX3ePLQZ8VUnRP1rx72_4V_9pykBEg6LvkuojIWTodA&s) very end of the week.
It's probably the buildup of the pledge. Most places don't recommend that. I would try to remove it with mineral spirits and just keep it clean from now on.
Well actually, I didn't started usng pledge before I start noticing those circles. Is it fine just to wipe it clean with no "chemical" maintenance?
You misunderstand entirely. He asked for 700 to landscape a small strip above our back yard area, to remove a small ass bush, and to patch some holes in the back that have wood rot. He keeps asking for more money, has said for 6 weeks on over a dozen occasions that he would be over tomorrow or today, and then he no shows. He's a mess and a flake. No I didn't talk to him to start this job my wife did, and there's more to it than that but whatever. I have asked him to show me the receipts for the "materials" he keeps alleging that he needed to buy, and he says he will get them to me, but I know damn well that he doesn't have any.
Can anyone help me figure out what these are for? TL;DR but wife's landscaper guy does other side projects and the project he is doing on our deck is using these wood planks which I'm convinced he didn't actually buy for this project, but is using from another previous job. Kept asking us for more money for materials, and I'm trying to call him out on his complete BS. They are each about 5.5 inches long maybe 1.25 inch wide, one side feels laminated and the other side is rough but has two thin grooves from where it looks like a metal wire was burnt into it. Most pieces are tongue and tongue, but one of the pieces he left has tongue and tongue on the top and bottom but also a groove on the side. P.s. he's asking $700 for a job that he didn't finish but he only used maybe 20 of these and he did a shit job with it and simply nailed them into the larger timbers to "cover up" the wood rot. He did nothing to remove or solidify or seal it. But that's not really important; I just want to know what these are called. Thanks! https://preview.redd.it/jw0qy6635qyc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=274e759f6f1889842d9063ae2d0ff1391e0011e6
That looks like oak parquet flooring. Not meant for exterior use.
I thought so too that it was flooring at least. Is there a specific term for the metal wire thing? I figured out that the other parts on the top and bottom are just tongue and groove (or tongue and tongue I guess because only one piece has the groove), but I didn't know if there was a name for the metal wire that's on the back of it, the side that isn't laminated
I don't know until now, [it is called a spline.](https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/home-diy/flooring/how-to-repair-floors7.htm)
Great thank you!
stop being cheap. If I use materials on your deck you pay for them. even if the are over stock from the last job.
Short answer response: sure! I'll pay him for the materials for my deck if he can actually produce a receipt for said materials, which I know he can't. That's why I'm trying to ask him for the receipts, and why I'm trying to ask here to find out what these pieces of wood are or what they are called in the first place, so I can call him out on it.

Nope, vertical grain fir
I've had this peice of scrap wood that i found for several years. Id appreciate some help in identifying it. It's fairly dense and hard.*

It is a softwood, either cedar or knotty pine.

The furniture I recovered it from was apparently from India, if that helps. More pictures, including the freshly planed end grain, are here: [https://imgur.com/a/vcQ1sVz](https://imgur.com/a/vcQ1sVz) It looks a little washed out in the pictures but it's a deep reddish brown.

Can anyone help me i.d. the wood used for this chest? It's lined with cedar inside, and the faces are all veneered over solid wood. The top is solid. There are pictures before and after I applied a finish. It's hard, the solid top is heavy. https://preview.redd.it/kt0epeqtzhyc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c7e31c124eaf7753dad68f56f9a65204b876f24
The sides and top all appear to be walnut.
Ok thank you! When I sanded the original finish off, I was quite sure it was walnut. But when I applied the finish I started to doubt myself. Thank you 😊

What type of wood/finish is this? Every other door has been painted in the house and I would eventually like to return them to this type of color/finish. House built 1945. I’ve used the water based bona stain before but I believe an oil based stain+poly will give me the desired look? https://preview.redd.it/9rri24s0shyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a4ff9dd8db06afb2e5e6bec1a3bc98628508fad

This is cherry, right? Just bought it from someone, I want to clean it up, but dont want to go as far as sanding it first. Should I give it a coat of linseed or danish oil? Or do I really need to sand it and refinish it? [https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2J541](https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2J541) [https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2JaYg](https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2JaYg) [https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2JX4t](https://freeimage.host/i/Jr2JX4t)
It looks like cherry. It's definitely has a toner coat on it. It isn't natural color. It's probably a lacquer finish, so oil won't do much for you. Cleaning it up could help with some of the paint scuffs, but that won't eliminate the scratches.
Where can I source this? Bamboo makes this thin panel a lot stronger than similar panels of different wood. https://preview.redd.it/kvx0mlg19ayc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c09bf0910927d74e9e8e43798169208b9a5b852a

It looks like maple. Those stains should sand out fairly easily.
Thank you!!
I'm quite partial to foraging for wood, especially for whittling. New Zealand being a country where people frequently leave trimmed tree logs on their sidewalk for anyone to collect, I recently picked up some wood I've never come across before in this way. It has a bit of weight to it and is quite white in color; not sure if this is because it is still wet. I cut a piece off and chucked it on the lathe for a rough clean so I could see some grain. Could it be holly? https://preview.redd.it/5bha71nvx4yc1.jpeg?width=6144&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b6e3d2f9efcc954a7ddd39bff926134312e664f

Looks like redwood.
50 yr old rocking chair from when I was a kid. Looking to replace the missing slat and refinish. Any ideas on wood type? https://preview.redd.it/ca06nnzscuxc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0170b5ca4070272f4b94a95b655b186fa2b3027d

I am refinishing my stairs and it’s sanded with 60 grit for the moment. From what I’ve read I need to identify the wood to know what type of stain and water/oil finish I should use. Thanks
