  • From the trees that grow there, beech is completely a possibility, but I can’t find the little dashes that I usually see on the edge grain of beech wood, thus I eliminated that possibility. Still I don’t know if every beech look the same, so, maybe you’re right? Oak, ash and maple are all other possibilities for that forest, but maple was very unlikely, thus the other guesses (oak and ash) are completely plausible too.

    Do you think of a test, or anything else I could do on the wood to help further determine the essence?



  • Thanks for your concern, couldn’t agree more. In that case, that forest is partly private property where I own a bit, and the branch came from there. It’s not exploited for its wood and is left mostly in its wild state. I’m about the only guy out there that even go there for a walk once in a while. It’s still an item taken from it, but believe me, that forest is well cared for :-)
