We went up to St. Louis today and went by Rockler to pick up some supplies. While there we asked about their new Mission Gel stain. We were showed some QS white oak boards that were treated with this stain and SWMBO loved the look. When we got home I checked my price list from a place I buy my rough lumber from and they only listed red oak and white oak. The white oak was 52 cents cheaper. Figure I'd ask the group if they know why. Is the white oak more abundant? Does regular cut white oak look crappy ? They don't have QS white oak listed. I think it's a special order thing. The only wood I've worked with since graduating from pine is red oak. Thanks
