So for now, we will just be working on identifying the Genus (Birch, Oak, etc.) and not the exact Species of Wood. This is normally not possible, if (like me) you’re looking at a random piece of furniture you just snagged off the side of the road. To identify the exact species of the wood, you would need to know exactly where the wood came from in most cases. Sub Genus: White Birch, Red Oak Species: Acer pseudoplatanus) You probably don’t need to know all of these crazy names for simple refinish work There are also multiple “subgenus” and “species” of each “genus” of wood. Even the experts sometimes can’t quite narrow down the exact species of wood you may be dealing with. Of course, there are SO MANY types of wood, it’s incredible. You don’t want to start a refinish job in which you plan to expose the natural wood, without knowing the wood type. It will affect your strategy for sanding, pre-treating, and staining basically, everything depends on knowing: What type of wood is this?
Knowing the answer to this question matters a great deal in restoration work. I’ve spent hours researching this topic for each particular piece. It has been one of the things I’ve always needed help with. I’ve been planning on writing this post, pretty much, since I started this blog. Hello everyone! If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I hope you’ll understand when you see how long and informative this post is! Grain – Investigating Your Furniture’s Wood Identity.
