    Question Onshore what timber this is?

    Hi Guy’s managed to get this sheet of timber from my father he was using it for a makeshift table top/workbench but was stored under the his house for 20 or so years it’s a single sheet 1380mm X 760mm X 25mm and it is one piece no joins and I think it is celery top pine??? Could some body confirm this, it has a cream light brown to golden colour? My better half wanted a folding table made with it until I sanded the dark brown varnish off and now I’m thinking a dinning table now I need to fine some timer for the legs and skirting that will match the top anyway heres a pic of the timber.

    Certainly looks like it could be CTP, but I'll defer to anyone who has a better idea.

    Kauri? I'd need to see a closer shot wet down with meths.

    Are you sure it doesn't have joins?

    The same as it is offshore, but not as wet?


    I see nothing to say that it isn't CTP, it's normally more of a cream colour but turns a mellow gold with age and UV exposure.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
