### micro-FAQ on wood # 021
"P van Rijckevorsel" wrote in message ... Q: A Live Oak is an oak that has not been cut down yet. Right? A: False. There are three categories of genuine Oak (Quercus), found all over the Northern Hemisphe White Oaks, Red Oaks and Live Oaks. The woods of these three are not closely comparable in any respect. Characters that are shared by all three woods are prominent rays and a dendritic arrangement of pores. All in all there are some 400 species of genuine Oak. In addition there are any number of woods called Oak, for whatever reason strikes the fancy of a wood trader. How about adding the explanation of why a Live Oak is called a Live Oak. |
