One of the most commonly known of all hardwood species, red oak makes for a useful and fairly inexpensive wood. This non-durable, straight-grained wood grows very fast, sometimes as much as a foot a year in some ecosystems. Outside of interior woodworking, red oak is used for hardwood flooring since it's fairly inexpensive and has a beautiful grain when finished. When traveling in Europe, be sure to look for it, since it has been used there since the early 18th century. |
