 hard as UgDum vltae; the strongest is weaker 

 than locuat; the heaviest la lighter than man- 

 grove; but In average of good qualities It 

 would be hard to find a wood superior to oak.

 largement at their bases, and look like plna 

 driven into the bole or into the larger limbs.

White oaks ripen their acorns in a single 

 season, while those of red oaks hang •n the 

 trees and grow during two summers. They 

 are usually quite small at the cUse of the 

 first growing season.

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.
