Scope note
Wood from the species Quercus palustris, native primarily to bottomlands and moist uplands of eastern North America, but found as far west as Oklahoma and Ontario, Canada. It is a reddish brown hard wood that shrinks and cracks with drying; sometimes sold as red oak for flooring and lumber, but it is weaker and contains more knots.
