<p>[QUOTE="pixieforpapa, post: 3216764, member: 17703"]I begin by telling you that I am not an expert on ANYTHING!! However, I’ve made enough mistakes thinking resin was wood that I learned to look for ONE thing first...scratches! Scratches are generally the first thing a hoodlum does to fake “wood.” But I don’t care how old it is, wood will not be scratched in similar sized cross-hatch patterns (either like differently-sized tic-tac-toe marks and/or long, repeated diamond patterns that look like a tiny grater was used to artificially “age” an item). On another note, it’s a lovely piece and as soon as I figure out a definitive test (besides a drill or a match) for resin, I will let you know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
