As part of my workshop clearout I have started pulling stuff from my timber store.
I've 2 planks of this which looks to me likely oak judging by the colour and the staining, however the planed bit whilst also looking like oak has no characteristic smell - and I've processed a lot of oak in my time!!
Any ideas if it's something else?

Could it be sweet chestnut? I have used a lot since moving to my present location.

Got an end grain pic?

They both look like oak to me too. We need smelly-vision.

I suspect it is oak. It will be easier to identify with with hand planed surfaces, end grain and on the side surface.

Looks like white American oak (the green end sealer makes me think it's American). Some guitar maker might bite your arm off for that mahogany if it's Brazilian.

Thats my first guess, but always been waney edged when I have bought it.

Oak will show medullary rays on quarter sawn planks whereas chestnut will not. I would still think it's American White Oak.

Take a shaving off it and leave it in vinegar with a nail or bit of steel - if it's oak or chestnut it'll go blue/black.

I'll go with oak as being most likely - the staining made me think it oak too.
It along with a lot of what was sold as Sapele will go on the for sale forum when I've worked out how to price it..
Many thanks to all

Looking on a better monitor thats sapele or utile, not so interesting for guitar makers.

Sapele and Utile are usually a reddish brown and both display a ribbon figuring and natural lustre
I'd say oak.

I was reffering to the mahogany planks !!
