OK, I have quite a bit of mixed red and white oak that I bought, green, from a local sawmill several years ago.
I now have a need for some in a marine appplication where the wood will see a lot of water and UV. Red oak is out, but I'm having trouble telling which boards are white oak in my piles. I mean, on some pieces (especially among the ones that are obviously red oak), the difference is obvious -- but there is a fairly large percentage where I'm not sure whether it's red or white.
Does anyone have any good, easy, relaible ways to tell which is which?
Thank-you for any replies.
