My favourite from those kind of sellers is "Barrel Wood" WT_ is barrel wood?????????

Or in the description under "Material" it says "wood".

Oh that's easy. chances are "barrel wood" is oak.. could be American White Oak or French Oak. As for "wood" , that's what you use in a fire place.. Wood is for burning, timber is for building .

Not so easy as you might think...

I have a feeling that in some dialects of Chinese the "guitar body" and "guitar barrel" may be written with the same characters.

Of course, a skeptic might also point out that at the advertised weight (1150g / 2.53lb) it can't be oak or maple.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Where I'm from, wood is a material, lumber is for building and "timber" is something you yell when the tree is about to fall. This time of year, you try not to burn anything at all.
