sure looks like quarter sawn oak. oak is an open grain wood (has little pores or like checkered pock marks) maple is closed grain so the entire surface is perfectly smooth. is it veneer (plywood w/high quality top layer) or solid lumber? Hint-- look at an exposed edge. tung oil is wonderful, and properly applied, it will give you superior results. DANGER!!!! DO NOT EVER ALLOW PLEDGE OR ANY OTHER SILICONE BASED POLISH NEAR OIL FINISHED WOOD. It will cause FISHEYE in the future and CANNOT EVER BE OVERCOME.
