 to the region, west of the Rocky Mountains.

 that is not the proper name of any.

The pin oak is not so named because it is 

 famous for pins or tree nails, but because Its 

 limbs and branches have little swell or en- 

 largement at their bases, and look like pins 

 driven into the bole or into the lareer limbs.

Oak makes the heaviest of bridge timbers 

 or the finest of period furniture. Is there any 

 other wood so versatile? 



The color of the artistic English wood known 

 as brown oak is said to be due to incipient 

 decay which has spread through the texture 

 of the wood. 



There are no new problems to overcome In 

 curing or caring for Oak lumber. It has been 

 too long used.
