It's interesting what everyone chooses. Where I live people use teak for outdoor furniture, so that's why I said teak. I've never seen cypress

Here you go Gargamel. It's easy to ID the wood type when the label is still attached :) As for me, I wouldn't be able to tell weathered teak from cypress.

Number 4 looks like a board that I acquired that was labeled Sycamore.

The grain on 4 almost looks like cherry, but the color is more like maple. Not Sycamore, I've sawmilled and planed a bit of that myself.
