What wood is this vintage Victorian chair made of?
Hi there. This is my first project and I really need help identifying the kind of wood used so that I know what stain or finish would work best to revive this vintage Victorian chair. I think the chair was made of different kinds of wood because the legs are like a hardwood but the arms and headrest area seems like a softer wood but I do not know enough to judge. Please anyone who can help me identify the wood would help me so much to understand if I can use Ceruse technique on the wood or what stain and finish would compliment the wood best. Thank you so very much for your time and especially for your help. I appreciate any guidance.
