| Most of it looks like yellow/heart pine. I have a house full of it. Casey |

| Thanks Casey..Are the pecks natural? At some point someone put oak over all the floors but the kitchen and the upstair rooms. I like the old floors better. The kitchen steps down one board thickness so I know they're still under there. I've been scraping wallpaper off the plaster and see the dust on the floor. |

| It looks like vertical grain yellow (hard) pine. The lighter sections are sapwood and the darker sections are heartwood. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Heartwood vs sapwood
