Anyone good with wood- what sort is this?

[Julie]

I'm hoping someone here knows their wood because I have nfi. We recently bought a house and I've had a new oven put in our kitchen that is a fraction too small so we need to put a wood filler piece above the oven. The kitchen is solid timber in a relatively modern house. I have attached pics, but they aren't the best due to the flash, I can take more tomorrow in natural light if needed.

I was also recently given an antique sideboard and I would like to know what sort of wood that is too.

First 2 pics are kitchen, 3rd pic is the sideboard. I will get more pics in the morning camera batteries went dead

If anyone has a good idea what these mystery woods are I'd love to know!

Thanks

Im not great with wood, but the cupboard looks like a Rosewood, kinda like New Guinea Rosewood to be exact. (The reason i say this is due to the tight uniform grain and colour)

I could be wrong however.

the door is tassi oak (solid)
the middle photo looks like white birch (verneer)
the thirs looks like a verneer of rosewood or wallnut (verneer)

door panels are definetly tassie oak, i made a bench/coffee table as my major project for woodwork at school, i used tassie oak, its pretty expensive aswell



before being stained or lacquered the timber is usually pale white/golden yellow

I vote tassie oak for the kitchen - very common aussie timber. Is the sideboard australian ? Is the timber hard or soft ? didn't think they made antiques in veneer !!

thanks guys, forgot to take pics today in decent light doh! I will try to remember tomorrow. Both the kitchen and the sideboard are solid timber, not veneer. Not sure about the origins of the sideboard, it was given to me by one of my customers, have been told by a couple of old farts that it probably dates around 1910ish. I'm trying to find out a little more about it before we restore it.

First pic looks like Meranti. Not sure about the second one. Third pic looks like Walnut

E.regnans (sold as Tasmanian oak) looks to be the main wood, it's pretty common for Kitchens even in the 3rd picture, the grain can go like that but since it's an old wood it woul dbe something different

My dads a Handyman/Carpenter and has been for over 25 years. He said it Is most likely Maple or Teak... He was leaning more towards the Teak side.
