doesn't look like pine as such
have you got a front shot of it?

Could be a home-made moulding. Nice bit of wood.

Looks more like ash with the colour variation. Obviously been waxed or varnished.

Unless that is Knotty Ash?

Knotty Ash, my dad used to have a customer in Knotty Ash, and his name was.......

Ken Dodd

Not the Ken Dodd but a bookseller of the same name.

Back to the moulding, I'm not convinced it is pine though not convinced it is ash either.

Not the one but simons have similar mouldings in the front of their catalog , looks like the same wood anyway.

'Pine' covers a lot of ground.
