Oak DNS Server
White Oak rivals walnut as the king of the woods. Its versatility is unmatched. White-oak timber is heavy, hard, and very strong. It will make an axe handle that is nearly the equal of hickory or ash. The pores of white oak are blocked with inclusions called tyloses that make it impervious to liquids. This, coupled with its strength, makes it the only choice for whiskey barrels. Moderately resistant to decay, it is a prime timber for ship building. When sawn or split on the radial plane, the surface is quite distinctive, with large patches of silver grain. It is a difficult wood to season successfully, but worth the effort.
