    I'd forget the colour. It's looking more like a light oak with lashings of mahogany stain!

    Mr. HandyAndy - Really

    The mahogany would not have been an off the shelf stain when it was made something like Bichromate of Potash or Van **** crystals to obtain the colour would have been used, both are available today. ;)

    Won't let me type Van D y k e!

    Yes I can recognise it, I've used quite a lot of it and it isn't what the OP posted.
    I didn't bother saying that I thought it was Mahogany as every thing I would have said had already been posted.
    Got it wrong again haven't you.:p:p

    Handy, even you can see the difference in the bloody grain. My mother in law has very poor eyesight and I reckon even she could see it's not oak. Even my dog could tell the difference.

    Sounds great at full volume through a 100w Marshall amp and 4x12" stack. (although our neighbour tends to complain,,,,, the neighbour twenty streets away) :D:D:D:D

    We are talking about Andy who can't tell the difference between his arris and his elbow.
    I await a 20 page rebuttal about how he said it wasn't Oak and can't you recognise Beech :p:p:p

    These grains here could quite easily be the same as in the lit picture above. And yes I've coloured it up, but can't get the varnish effect. planed-timber-american-white-oak2.jpg
