Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expert Wood Finisher: A Hand Book for Expert Workmen and Learners in the Art and Practise of Finishing Woods by Staining, Filling, Varnishing, Rubbing, Polishing, Oiling, Waxing, Etc Ak.-only the use of their scientific names can prevent confusion when speaking of the oaks. Foresters divide all the various oaks into two distinct groups, namely, the white and the black. The woods of the two groups are structurally different. The true white oak, Quercus alba, is merely one of the species which make up the white oak group. Red oak has a number of other common names, such as mountain oak, black oak, and Spanish oak, yet it is a member of the black oak group. Red oak is more abundant than white oak, grows faster, and is generally regarded as inferior; the two species often grow together and occupy the same general region. When white oak was abundant it was derived almost entirely from the true white oak, the Quercus alba, but now what passes for white oak is usu ally a mixture of different oaks, in which there may be no true white oak at all. The true white oak combines approximately the utmost strength and toughness of any of the timber oaks, excepting possibly the Southern live' oak, prized for ship building. At one time white oak forests extended from the Atlantic seaboard to about Missouri, and seemed in inexhaustible supply. Of the white oak group those most used, in addition to the true white oak, are burr oak, chestnut oak, post oak, chinquapin oak, swamp white oak, cow oak, and overcup oak. Of the black oak group the most used are, Texas red oak, red oak, and spotted or water oak. Real white oak of No. I quality is very largely cut into quarter sawed boards, while a combination of one or more White oaks and red oak may constitute cuts of white oak. In many markets the term cabinet white oak is under stood to include a mixture of red and white oaks, but not infrequently it means simply red oak. However, for all the purposes for which white oak is commonly used, practically all the trees of this group will yield woods that can be interchanged and will serve equally well. Live oak is not used in wood finishing, yet it is well adapted for that purpose, being very hard and compact, close of grain, taking a high polish, and growing darker and handsomer with time. But the woodworker will find it very difficult to work. It seems never to have been sawed into quarters, though owing to its known grain it is sure that no figure would result from quarter-saw ing. Nor is it ever made up into boards, its sole use be ing for ships. Its botanical name is Quercus virens, so named because it retains its green leaves until the new foliage of the next season appears. Its habitat is the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, from Norfolk to Texas. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
