The Wood Key
Quercus spp. — the dealer recorded only “oak”, with no species named, and the genus runs to some 477 accepted species; absent a species, all that can honestly be said is that oak heartwood is light to medium brown, reddish-cast in the red oaks and olive-cast in the whites, with prominent ray fleck on quartersawn faces.
