European Oak Crown Cut

Quercus Robur L.

The color of the heartwood varies from a light yellow-brown to brown, and the sapwood is somewhat lighter. The sapwood is clearly differentiated. The growth rings are visible and very distinct. In edge-grained lumber large woody rays appear in the form of large flecks characteristic of oak, and in flat-grained (plainsawn) lumber the rays appear as vertical lines somewhat darker than the rest of the wood. The grain is straight and the grain texture is coarse (open).
