Just bought a a house and I am trying to figure out the type of wood used for the cabinets.

No expert but it may be oak.

Oak has very open pours. Imagine millions of soda straws glued together and then sliced diagonally. 

I can't tell from your photos. Look at the wood closely and at an angle. Like this:P_Site-Finished-Flooring-Red-Oak.thumb.jpg.4ee0d094a59b5ce644ac7a1865136929.jpg

If it's oak, you'll see the open pours. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Is there a non-stained side? Not oak. Could be cherry. These are cherry. Walnut is similar.

No, the back side is stained as well.

I was expecting Persimmon or some thing like that when I clicked the thread, but it does not look like a golf club.

I have no clue.

Matt, check with a local cabinet maker.
The cabinets were most likely from a local supplier.
Most cabinets are made of Oak or Maple or even a higher priced wood when an owner specs a specific type.
Your pics look like Mahogany or Walnut.

Here are other Cabinet Wood Types:
Maple, Cherry, Knotty Alder, Red Oak, Hickory, Birch, Knotty Pine, Mahogany, Walnut, Clear Alder and Oak.

This is really good advice. 

As a long time woodworker and a guy who formerly owned his own custom cabinet business I can tell you I'm not sure. 

Here's why. Very often guys like me take cheaper woods and make them look like more premium wood. The best example I can think of is if you give me a pile of Birch, I can build you cabinets and tell you that they are Mahogany and you will never know that they aren't. 

Obviously nobody would ever confuse Maple with Oak or Pine with Ebony. But those are the far ends of the spectrum. A lot of cabinet grade lumber can be made to look very similar. 

Here are some tips. 

1 - Very often non-custom, but still high quality cabinets have a spec sticker on the bottom side of a drawer. Check for that first. If you find the spec or even the maker/product code, BOOM! You're done.  BTW - some manufactures put the sticker on the back of the drawer. 

2 - Check your sink base cabinet for a KCMA label. 

3 - Check the bottom of the wall cabinets or on an inside panel in the sink base cabinet. A lot of time the brand of the cabinet is marked there. Sometimes the color, door style, and construction of the cabinet will be there too. 

4 - If you end up getting just the brand name, you can get their catalog (either online or a real one) and try to match yours up. That's hit or miss, because a lot of times the maker will do just what I said and make a birch cabinet that looks like a mahogany or something of that ilk. But you may be able to figure it out. 

5 - If they are truly custom you will be able to tell because all of the faceplates between two cabinets will be seamless. Meaning the faceplates were put on after the cabinet boxes were installed. If your cabinets have those little lines between the doors or between the drawers than those cabinets were built in a factory or possibly a shop and installed, rather than boxes being custom built and facepates made on site. 

6 - If your cabinets are truly custom. Firstly, congratulations that's mighty rare. Secondly, you will have to contact the builder to find out who did the work. Unless they were like me and stamped (literally) their name and logo on the bottom of every drawer.

7 - If none of that works. You may have to cut into a piece. Fresh cut wood is far easier to identify. 

If you find this stamped on the bottom of the drawers, then I made them.

I think this is the case. The previous owner did mention that cabinets were Amish-made. I checked a few drawers and such, and there isn't any markings on them. The drawers are mostly high end plywood. The face of the cabinets look to be hardwood of some kind. There is some areas were the finish has rubbed off and you can see the grain underneath.

    • Day 166 (15 Oct 24) - Worked with the 6i into the net today.  Focused on the legs - slight knee bend, keeping pressure on lead foot, getting rotation thru contact.  
    • No. The Steelers aren't paying either of them very much. They're not gonna get rid of a SB winning QB in case Justin is injured or something.
    • It could be to exhibit for trade bait.   Some teams may be looking for another QB (Miami) and if Wilson plays well, the compensation could be large.
    • Ball strike is king. You hit with a glancing blow (hook or slice), your smash factor just decreases a ton. Having a face to path angle of like 20 degrees versus something like 3 degrees is huge.  Yea, getting in shape is a good idea all around. Power is moving something heavy really fast. So, increasing how much you can lift, then improving on how fast you can move it will improve your power. In general, I think the two biggest tests for distance is like a chest press and standing vertical high jump. Some people are gifted with fast hands, but having good lower body can amplify what you have. Using the ground the correct way really ramps up the rotation speed, and then that can get the clubhead moving faster. Still, the hands do get down from the top of the backswing really fast.  If you start gaining strength and power gains. Knowing how to use the ground properly is important. You can have all the leg strength, but if you are not activating it correctly it is a waste. That is where good mechanics come into play.   
    • Any thoughts?  Not sure I agree with this. I think Fields is doing good. The team is 4-2. I am not sure Russel is any better. Last year by QBR, they were basically the same player. Two years ago, Russel was just BAD. If you want to take prep time away from the guy who got you to 4-2, just to give a guy who has been injured a shot, I think it is a waste of time.  Hey, I do not watch them every weekend, but maybe some Pittsburgh fans can chime in.
