<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9545932, member: 79705"]So that's a vote for English? Did a quick look and didn't see the same elements yet, but I'll definitely look into that style more. My one English Furniture book is all the much fancier, well-heeled designers and nothing as rustic so no help at all. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you! I thought it was oak, but I'm a completely dummy on woods and willing to admit it lol.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay! I thought the interior wood had a different grain but I know nothing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie29" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Another vote for English which makes me feel confident on y'alls assessment. British Gent on reddit said it looked like the Northern English pieces in his family from 18th C. but reddit is.....reddit. Always good to get more opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also THANK YOU for suggesting Howard's.
