Wonderful Wood!

Here at Green Oak Living we are passionate about wood! Our office is packed with beautiful samples and we are always working on ways to incorporate natural and attractive features of green oak in our projects. Some of our clients choose beams that are uniform, some pick out unique, naturally shaped and twisted sections to add a unique feature to their extension. Here are a few terms to top up your timber terminology!
Gum Pocket: An excessive local accumulation of resin or gum in the wood
Pith Flecks: Small dark flecks in the wood – a characteristic of American Cherry for example.
Quarter-sawing: Cutting a log at a 90-degree angle to the growth rings, producing a vertical, uniform pattern grain.
There really is nothing to compare to seeing a project up close if you want to trully appreciate the beauty of an oak framed living space, and we are always delighted to show clients our current projects.
