Does anyone out there have any idea of what type Timber this is ??.
It's from my trusty recycled Piano, which was made in England in the 1950's, I'm thinking Oak ?? of some sort or possibly Maple ??

"Thanks  Jerry Jordan", I originally thought Oak ?, but now leaning toward Beech ?

I vote for beech, a timber that is used for pianos.

Dave, the Warren Commission on Woods does list it as Lee Harvey Ozwood.
