<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 9707402, member: 30"]The unfinished shelves look like cypress wood to me, altho could be pine. Seems unusual not to use first class pine with knot holes, so it could all be cypress or some other wood. Is it soft or hard? Does a hard fingernail make a tiny mark in it? It rather resembles cypress to me. There appears to be a cherry wood stain under the varnish. It's old but not nearly as old as the original period piece it was copied from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
