I just re-sawed a small log from a tree that came down during one of our hurricanes here in Florida. I have always been told that this type of tree is called a water oak. It is deciduous and I believe is native. They are all over.
The wood is beautifully spalted and lovely, but quite light in weight, and seems very soft. I can scratch it with my thumbnail. Not like any oak I have seen before.
Does anybody know anything more about this wood?
Thanks, Harvey
