In reply to Larry. English oak is much slower growing. Climate plays a part in this due to northerly latitude. Much harder than French oak but french oak is more plentiful

In reply to Larry. No its not the same, its harder by a considerable degree. In my Grandfathers on timber and elasticity, English Oak is the stongest wood available for construction.

Has been used by carvers for centuries. Most churches and cathedrals in Northern Europe will have something carved in Quercus spp.
One of the nicest woods to carve once you get used to the hardness.

I’ve never heard of British oak, if you have worked with British oak does it feel like it’s stronger then ash?
