And how do you know it’s pine? It looks more like a type of oak. The little indents seem to be a lot darker as if the stain set into those parts. I’m no expert but the grain just doesn’t remind me of pine.

Great question, I'm truly not certain about this. I tried looking it up once I sanded it down, and the color/texture reminded me of pine, but I'm no expert whatsoever, so it may very well be oak.
