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 ??

Interesting comment Moritz Voegeli, have been using a timber similar to your description of Elm, for a couple of years, just posted pics of it under What Type of Timber ?? (Number Two), have a look and tell me what you think ??????????

Brilliant decision on your part to use beechwood, AGP!   Well done!  ;-)

Comment by AGP # on January 18, 2017 at 11:21am

Yep! Jerry Jordan, Beech it is, and in my opinion any "Free Wood" is useful ;-)

I'm with you David Bowes, I happy to refer to it as Beech.

Comment by AGP # on January 18, 2017 at 11:18am

Just had a quick sniff  Moritz Voegeli, and it smells like Wood :-)

Comment by David Bowes on January 17, 2017 at 11:53am

I would say Beech.

Comment by Moritz Voegeli on January 17, 2017 at 2:25am

Just for control as we are only guessing on base of photos - I would like to know how it smells...

Oak crosscut, sample 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch:

I stand corrected.,.,it's Beech.,.,apparently a very useful wood.,,. 

Comment by AGP # on January 16, 2017 at 10:47am

"Thanks Moritz Voegeli", the crosscut pic certainly looks like what I'm using, just about to post a new pic of what I have, for some reason I'm unable to post it here ???
