Just went to a few local antique shops and there weren't any decent straights but there was a nice synthetic brush and mug. I picked that up, the old brush has to go and it needs a good sanding and refinishing. I have no idea what wood it is, so suggestions or would a pic help? The handle is wood then there is also a black piece below that that was a few cracks in it, I am hoping to be able to salvage this as well. The cracks are just surface is this something I should be worried about? I'll try to get a couple pics up soon.

Thanks
Jared
