Is the wood varnished or bare wood?

It appears to have just an oiled finish. I believe it could be stained. They don't recommend the top be stained or varnished, just use mineral oil on the top.

The one that I received has a stain on it. I put a scratch on mine by accident and you can see the natural wood underneath. I took a stain stick and went right over it and you can not tell. It does not have a shinny finish as it looks like it does in this picture. Mine has a dull finish. I am very happy with mine - just wished it was a little longer.

Pure wood. When I got mine I scrubbed it clean and let it dry overnight. The next day I coated it with pharmacy grade mineral oil and let it dry for 24 hours. It is absolutely gorgeous.

The pic that is on amazon is pretty close to the color of the wood. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is but I would guess it is a white wood like pine and it is clear finish in natural/unstained color. I would call it a light tan color and it is a soft grain wood.

Mine is unfinished but sanded so well, I hadn't even really noticed. The wood is very nice.

The tag that came attached to the items states "Natural All Maple Muddler", "rub with vegetable oil if needed", and "Made in Maine" but it does not state or imply anything about varnish or finish. But I'm pretty sure it is not finished or varnished based on its appearance and smell. I showed it to a friend and he also said it looks unfinished and varnished. I'm glad I took a chance and bought this item because I too do not want any kind finish or varnish in my food.

It's 'raw', un-stained or finished wood. The top drawer does have a felt-like bottom, the bottom drawer does not.

It looks like a pine wood stained to a light rosewood or cherry finish. Why do you ask?

It is a nicely finished raw wood, but smooth and pleasing too look at on it's own. I have 3 of them. It could be re-finished if you wanted to, but is a nice stand alone finish too.

I believe the wood has been oiled lightly. It would be necessary to strip the oil before refinishing.

To me it appears (while hanging on my wall) to be a rust-colored brown. It looks more painted than 'stained;' and you don't really see the wood grain in it. I'm happy with it for the price; and my wife has been happy with it (it was for her, she's the one who's earned all the belts). I hope this helps :)

The metal is dark, not quite black; the wood is about a medium oak. The colors are very neutral.

The wood has a stain applied also some sort of finish. It's well crafted and heavy. Make sure cabinet is mounted on a stud for support

It is solid wood (not sure what type) and no veneer. It's well-made, well-packed for shipping, and not too difficult to assemble.

It is a dark wood but not as dark as pictured. I will upload a picture of the two pieces I bought.

It's Parawood / rubberwood. Pretty hard and dense. It has a nice smooth grain and darker cellular divits (?) vs. the surrounding main grain noticable after staining; similar to mahogany. I was planning on painting the legs as well, but the wood was so nice, I couldn't stomach it. Needed at least two to three stain coats (used Minwax Cherry) to complete evenly. Make sure to rub excess off shortly after each coat or there will be darker areas. Used two coat of Shellac for final and beautiful!
