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.
