   I was thinking oak as well.  Did you buy it here in the US or in Scotland?

   I bought it here in Salt Lake City.  I am certainly no expert but it didn't look like any oak that I have ever worked with.

   To me, it looks to be in the white oak family.

   Frank,

   I'm with you..... I don't think it's oak, either red or white. I'm guessing it could be an exotic, in which case naming it may be a real puzzle.

   I'm in the camp with the non-oak guessers.

   I'm thinking that it is either a nut wood of some sort (pecan, hickory, butternut), or an exotic.

   I don't think it's one of the "nut woods" you mention. I think it's an exotic, perhaps one of the LKS, or lesser known species. Many of those have local, or common names, but not botanical names. A lot of it is the wood that's cleared to get the sawyers and their trucks into mahogany and other, more profitable species.Gary W

   Looks like a tropical hardwood to me.

   It looks like white oak. Most probably an oak.
