Common grade Alder. I have a vinegar solution that I make and use to artificially age the wood. For the Alder, it turns a mid-tone gray. I then have 4 coats of Waterlox on top of that followed by some wax.
His wife wanted an an old, reclaimed, wood vibe. But any sources for that (barns, etc…) are in high demand over here and are quite $$$. Using a knotty, low-grade Alder is close enough. 🙂
