  • Here's my question: is this an oak (or other wood) board or just dodgy-looking pine?

  • It's pine (generic name for softwood). Most of the boards in that picture look to be redwood but I can't be 100% from a picture on the interwebz.

    As wood is a natural product there will always be some variation in colour, but I don't think that would account for that big a difference. So it's either a much older piece of timber or it has been stained at some point, it could also be a slightly different species such as pitch pine.
