I like ken's answer.

If I had to pick from looking at the picture, I say Walnut. Mahogany, whether light or dark, would have a reddish cast and I don't see that. So, I say good old Eastern Black Walnut.

Do you see something up close and personal to make you think Mahogany?

Do any of these close ups of the grain help?

[woodwalker]

Maybe oak?

That 1st pic looks a lot like aged oak.

Actually, I was thinking it was just stained Elm or Poplar but the new photos
make me think it's White Oak.

Those close ups help a lot. I’m going with oak.

Wish my dad was still alive - he would know. He taught high school “shop” (aka Industrial Arts) for years. One of his many skills was identifying different types of wood. I have a box full of wood samples somewhere that he used in his classes. I think they were used as “test samples”.

Couple more grain patterns then I'll close it out. White Oak sounds like it.

Thank you Bob! Oak it is!! Appreciate ya. I took a warm washcloth with some Dawn dishwashing liquid and was able to take off the old masking tape off the drawers. Worked like a champ!

[woodwalker]

Cleaning it out and took all the drawers out and found these old papers, stuck between the drawers. Kinda cool!!
