I went over to see a friend today and due to ill health he is having to give up most if not all his practical hobbies.
I came away with the back of the car chock full of ex hardwood flooring.
Having cut into a small piece the face grain looks like this:-
The end grain was a bit of a giveaway to me
Shouts red oak at me and so I did the dip test in a pot with 5mm of white spirit in the bottom.
The WS rose about 60mm in a matter of seconds. Definitely Red Oak
A good few cubic feet in my stash now
