Hi: I received this as a gift a while back. It is from Thailand. I would like to determine what kind of tree is is. I am thinking either redwood or teak. Could you please help. Thanks. Mark

Can anyone help with this? I’m out of town presently, and anyway, I can’t identify the tree stump. Thanks much.

Thanks for your question.

I’m afraid that we can be of little help to you. Our group consists of individuals whose collective knowledge is largely confined to Minnesota gardening and plants. Moreover, identification of specific trees typically demands that we can look at foliage and tree bark. Obviously, both are lacking in the picture that you sent to us. It is a beautiful piece of furniture whose presence should enhance without knowing its exact origin.

Sorry to be of little assistance to you but your question goes well beyond our expertise base. Good luck.
