Oak by Any Other Name

For most American woodworkers, oak is often the wood of choice. And there are good reasons. It's good looking. It’s a friendly wood to work with and you can be certain the project will last a lifetime. And oak is readily available and moderately priced. So you can see why it's so high on the list.
