Very nice build!

From only the view I can see of it, and if the wood's pretty dense and a tad heavy I would guess between a rift and/or quarter sawn white oak.

No matter - this is one nice piece of furniture.

Cheers!

Its definitely not white oak. It looks a lot like mahogany but is super blonde colored. That's why I stained it with ML Campbell traditional mahogany. With that stain it look like an antique mahgony piece

It is in the mahogany family,from what I can see, nice work no matter what it gets used for.

It looks beautiful.

If you ever get bored enough to want to identify the wood, Hoadley wrote the definitive text on the subject. I think the title is "identifying wood". The book shows how to identify several hundred species of hardwood and softwood, using just a simple hand magnifying glass.

It's a great book to have in the reference library and not too expensive.

Great looking piece, as you said, it has many possibilities. The wood looks like sycamore.
