it is just plain regular wood
There is no such thing as "plain regular wood." There are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of species of wood. I'm not an expert on pianos. Organs are my specialty, but I can tell you that piano cases are made out of laminated veneers of hardwood - most likely Poplar or Birch with a top layer of a harder species depending on how it is intended to look - Mahogany, Oak, Walnut, for example. The sound board is made of spruce. The pin block requires a very hard wood. Hard Maple is the logical choice. Parts that are required to be very stable are likely made from Bass Wood. Ebony is historically used for the black keys but it is getting scarce.
"Just plain wood" I suggest reading Understanding Wood by Bruce Hoadley.
