Really? Sorry, it was a knee jerk reaction. We really need more information like some good photos.

Welcome to the SBO forum Werf.
Hard to say what kind of wood it is without a picture.
My blind guess would be Mahogany or Teak, not Oak (either Red or White).

Mahogany looks reddish brown while sanded Teak looks pale orangey, or silvery gray if weathered.
White or Red oak are self explanatory.
