Was asked to see if this wood is any good. While no one wood would ever be perfect(at least I haven't found one), this one performed well enough. Wood was Garry Oak(also known as Oregon White Oak or Oregon Oak), but I like the simple name "Garry". As with all oaks I've ever turned, there was some tear-out...but that was fixed with some thin CA during the turn.
I'd give the wood a solid "B", on the letter grading system! Will it sell, in the right quantity, or in mixed lots...probably so. Will people be knocking the hinges off the door....with this coloring, just can't say. Have already emailed the price I would expect to pay to Steve.....
