White Oak is my #1 guess followed very closely by Red oak and my 3rd would be Ash. Your picture leaves a lot to be desired. Almost can guarantee it’s oak though. The little angled white lines are medullary rays of the tree and are present when the wood is “quartersawn.” The rest looks to be “rift sawn”. See a picture of what I mean here. -- You don't have a custom made heirloom fly fishing Net? http://www.Sierra-Nets.com |

I’d say white oak as well. -- Power tools put us ahead of the monkeys |

Difficult to tell from photo but I’m firmly in the QSWO camp. I’d also like to point out that when asking for help in wood ID it is best to post a clear, in focus, close up shot of the end grain that has been cleanly cut. -- Bondo Gaposis |

I’d say QSWO also, definitely some kind of oak. -- Richard, Hot Springs, Ar -- Galoot In Training |

It is a strip from a sheet of white oak like panelling. The pattern is QSWO, but it repeats about every foot. -- Improvise.... Adapt...... Overcome! |

Thanks, I appreciate the help. |

Definitely oak, but I would say some of the veneer is quarter sawn and the majority is rift sawn (striaght grain). |

Yes, rift/quartersawn oak. You can look at the end grain to tell whether it is red oak or white oak. -- Danny Located in Perry, GA. Forester. Wood-Mizer LT40HD35 Sawmill. Nyle L53 Dehumidification Kiln. hamsleyhardwood.com |
