Hi All,
I am making a small writing box/slope from an old hardwood door. It's probably no earlier than the mid 60's probably later.
It's a red wood and I would like to know what wood it is likely to be. I've guessed it to be sapele because that was heavily used in veneered doors back than and a bit later.
I've bought some sapele veneer to cover parts of the box I'm making from birch ply but it's somewhat darker.
Sorry about the pic, it's taken under a low energy lamp with some colour correction.
Does any one know what its likely to be?
Many thanks
Andy
