Red oak with a lot of bug holes - fishhh4 - 01-22-2018
This wood came from some shelving I tore out of my basement last winter . They came out a little darker than I would have liked . If I make it home next weekend , I will finish them .

Well done - congrats!
There is another thread ongoing about this type of oak - the term 'peck' is being used (have you seen the comments?) - but just curious assume that the oak was like that when installed? Do you known if the appearance is due to some infestation? Thanks - Dave

I can only imagine it was kiln dryed before it was originally installed......1950's .

I was told by somebody that I would never see wormy white oak , Only Red . Bugs don't like white oak . They musta been wrong .

My impression too - QS white oak is for wine & bourbon barrels - don't want worms in my beverages of choice!

That's the way to highlight the natural beauty in a unique piece of wood!

Quartersawn white oak in my latest project.
I have thousands of board feet of white oak.
Not many wormy ones in the pile fortunately
