I have a pile of CNo.7 .22LR rifle chests made of Eastern black or white spruce/ red or white pine/ GOK* fir. That wood has a similar deep tone to the 60yr old patina of the chests. With cross-grain wood and various steel reinforcements, it seems reasonably durable. Wooden chests and boxes were a well-known commodity in those days, and the plants knew which boards to use where.
I don't see any open pores like oak, which would be red oak if used. If it is hardwood, maple and birch are very common species.
