hi my partners bought some engineered oak doors and I knew they wouldn't be made of solid oak but I did assume the veneers and lipping around the door would be made of oak . this door the veneer looks fine but any hardwood parts of the door seem to be made of a different hardwood altogether. the grain doesn't look right the colour doesn't look right . I'll try and attach a couple photos . could anyone tell me is it a type of oak I've not seen before or something else ?
thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to reply. the light isn't the best in our front room but the lipping are very pinkish coloured

looks a bit like the cheap indian hardwood. Not sure what it's called but often see it in pallets etc. I assume it's the equivalent of our use of pine.
 
thankyou this is pretty much what I thought . it looks a lot like the hardwood lippings I get for firedoors which I get from howdens .
 
I'll stick my neck out again! 😊
Face veneers look like they might be some sort of oak. American red or white possibly? Lipping definitely isn't any oak I've ever seen.
As said cheap tropical hardwood of some sort. Seen it before, but don't know what it is.
