Greetings PrepHole! Received this Chinesium LP body to build on.
Is anyone able to identify the wood species? It seems to dent kinda easily and isn't as light as I would expect for the size.
Thanks.
Greetings?

probably swamp ass
ash
swamp ash
Wood is identified by the end grain, show a pic. It looks like ring-porous to that includes many ashes.
read the fricking book
Looks like ash. If it's light, it's probably swamp ash. Swamp ash isn't an actual species iirc, it's simply ash grown in wet areas, so it's more porous and thus lighter than more solid ash
>Is anyone able to identify the wood species?
From your pic? NO
Does it really matter what species it is?
You expecting bragging rights on chineseium wood??
>dents kinda easily and isn't as light as I would expect
It's pine.
That's obviously Yellow Badabingo, aka False Goatwood or Oriental Napkin Tree.
Some unscrupulous merchants may misrepresent other species as Yellow Badabingo, including the nearly identical appearing heartwood of the Dwarf Broadleaf Yelch which is known to explode violently into thousands of toxic splinters when common wood finishes are applied to its surface.after sanding.
this, plus you get aids from touching it, but that's not an issue for a confirmed homosexual like op
Definitely looks like ash. It has similar grain to pine but with more defined rings, and a grayer shade, not as yellow as pine. Other candidates in appearance include oak but it usually has tighter rings and is a lot more expensive and the opposite of dents easily.
>It has similar grain to pine
similar to what kind of pine?
Bamboo plywood
Chinese factories get wood from all over Asia and Africa. It's probably some foreign analogue/close-enough/just-use-this species of ash.
