Wood Samples

Many wood species are quite similar in appearance, but have subtle differences in color, grain pattern and texture. By staining you can mix walnut and birch or alder very nicely to have an all walnut appearance. Although birch and alder are related, birch is far easier to work with for finishing, but alder runs a close second.

It's difficult to judge finished furniture by color, because almost all furniture is stained to even out the colors or to completely change the color.

The wood samples below will help to identify your piece of furniture as teak, walnut, oak or mahogany or any of the other woods shown.
