I think that it is either mahogany or oak - I realise that it has been stained.

Looks like English oak to me.

I'd say it's Oak

I reckon that's oak, I don't think that mahogany opens like that

IMO not mahogany - the grain doesn't look close enough. But it also looks as if it may have been deliberately distressed - the grooves along the grain line don't look natural.

Thanks to everyone for their opinions and getting the link active - I shall now go and give it a good polish!
