<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 256941, member: 37"]Definitely not oak. Maple and birch are hard to distinguish from each other when stained, as this is. I would lean to this being birch since it stains easier than maple and maple is often preferred natural for the blond look. Hard to say age. I imagine these were made like this for decades unchanged. Can we see the locks? Might help date it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
