English Brown Oak
Quercus robur
This Oak grew on the grounds of Woburn Abbey in England. The tree was 6-7 feet in diameter and its age was estimated at 600 years plus. The log yielded almost 4,000 board feet of lumber. I had the Oak quartersawn so as to exhibit the beautiful rays or 'silver grain' inherent to this species. It also has a dark pigment tiger-striping that makes this Oak doubly gorgeous. We have boards 1", 1 1/2", 2", and 3" thick and up to 30" wide. We have just stickered this wood to air dry. These pieces are still green.
Surfaced one face. Riftsawn to quartersawn.
