[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5417463, member: 20583"] It's my favorite oak. It's hard and stable like white oak, but with darker color and stronger medullary ray pattern, generally. And these days it's not a "junk" oak. It's going for top dollar for lumber and veneer. White oak isn't being used much for lumber anymore because it's all being bought up by the barrel stave market. With it being largely unavailable, chestnut oak has filled the gap. The biggest issue with chestnut oak is that it often grows crooky and has low branches or split trunks. But if you got a good saw log f it, it's worth good money. [/QUOTE]
