| Looks like pine from this distance. |

| Is it a bit pale for pine? It does look like pine, but white washed maybe? Or it could just be the lighting. |

| I think it's pine. It's probably just a native species of pine that looks different than what we have in the U.S. |

| It's definitely from a coniferous wood, but I don't know it it's pine, fir, larch... or what. I'd like to make something out of wood like this, or that approximates it -- the kind of tight grain and the color. I'm thinking maybe carefully selected Doulas fir? |

| Could it be spruce? Looks like the photo below, to me. |

| Ah, yes, it does look like it might be spruce. I wonder if spruce turns yellow like pine does, with oil or polyurethane.... |

| I have a few antique English pine pieces and an Irish one; and I would bet money that it's pine. It also looks like it's had a light wash of a sheer white stain. |

| I agree, definitely some kind of coniferous species (pine, etc) |

| I'm pretty sure it's Douglas fir, we have floors like that in our lake house. We stained them. |

| Try your question on the woodworking forum, perhaps. Karin L |

| " I wonder if spruce turns yellow like pine does, with oil or polyurethane..." The POLYURETHANE is what yellows, NOT whatever surface it is applied to. |
