Mr Ray

Thanks for your help.

I attached a picture of the inside of the house showing the redish look of the wood, a close up picture of the outside wall and a wide picture of the house. The close-up shows the grain and aging of the wood.

Thanks for your input but I don't think it is Mai Daeng. Is there a way I can post a photo on this forum?

We have a 40 year old Thai house in central Thailand. The top part is wooden planks 8-10" wide. Extremely aged on the outside, brownish gray but the inside is a rose color. Can anyone guess what type of wood this might be???? I want to know if the old outside can be sanded and restained/oiled but I need a reasonable guess on what type of wood and if it can become beautiful again. I tried to submit a picture but I'm not that smart.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
