Is this asbestos?

Quick question, will that yellow stuff kill me? And if anybody is good at identifying wood could you hazard a guess as to what it is? Thanks

Thanks, it's an old bedroom door. I was just trying to salvage the 'frame' wood to use in some CBG necks, but i assume since this is of a 'middle' part that was holding some glass it will be a different type.

Only testing will tell, colour is irrelevant Asbestos was used in everything and age discolours it and the materials it surounds.

If you don't know it isn't you are legally required to assume it is and act accordingly.

Given it is around steel column it is fireproofing of some sort and if it is over 20 years old theres a good chance it could be.

There's no steel, only wood.
