Wood identification

[tony_t3d]

I did post about this a while back but I cannot find the original thread. I have now cut some to size and hopefully the grain is easier to identify.

 

It is drift wood I found on the beach really nice wood I just don't know what it is.

 

The pics are of the end grain and a cross cut.

 

Thanks in advance 15185358279141518535851977

Done. Hope it worked.

It appears to have medullary rays. Oak is the obvious choice but I am wondering if it's beech that has discoloured. Had beech roundwood go that colour when it's sat around for a bit

It was originally drift wood (see original post above) this could possibly explain the discolouration.

well it's in the fagaceae but which genus i don't know, the rays look remarkable short for either beech or oak and without good closeups i can't say what it is to be honest.

 

if you can focus in on a 2" square in a high quality image i could give you a better idea.

 

 

beech is fairly likely at the moment but i would have thought more spalting would have taken place???

These are the original files as jpg's.If you right click & open in a new tab you should be able to see them full size.
