Oak Wood

Oak wood has a density of about 0.75 g/cm³, great strength and hardness, and is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content. It also has very attractive grain markings, particularly when quartersawn. Wide, quarter-sawn boards of oak have been prized since the Middle Ages for use in interior paneling of prestigious buildings such as the debating chamber of the British House of Commons in London, England, and in the construction of fine furniture. Oak wood, from Quercus robur and Quercus petraea, was used in Europe for the construction of ships, especially naval men of war, until the 19th century, and was the principal timber used in the construction of European timber-framed buildings. Today oak wood is still commonly used for furniture making and flooring, timber frame buildings, and for veneer production. Barrels in which red wines, sherry, brandy and spirits such as Scotch whisky and Bourbon whiskey are aged are made from European and American oak. The use of oak in wine can add many different dimensions to wine based on the type and style of the oak. Oak barrels, which may be charred before use, contribute to the colour, taste, and aroma, of the contents, imparting a desirable oaky vanillin flavour to these drinks. The great dilemma for wine producers is to choose between French and American oakwoods. French oaks (Quercus robur, Q. petraea) give the wine greater refinement and are chosen for best wines since they increase the price compared to those aged in American oak wood. American oak contributes greater texture and resistance to ageing, but produces more violent wine bouquets.

The bark of Quercus suber, or Cork oak, is used to produce wine stoppers (corks). This species grows in the Mediterranean Sea region, with Portugal, Spain, Algeria and Morocco producing most of the world's supply. Of the North American oaks, the Northern red oak Quercus rubra is the most prized of the red oak group for lumber, all of which is marketed as red oak regardless of the species of origin. It is not good for outdoor use due to the open capillaries. One can blow air through an end grain piece 10 inches long to make bubbles come out in a glass of water. These opening give fungus easy access when the finish deteriorates. The standard for the lumber of the white oak group, all of which is marketed as white oak, is the White Oak Quercus alba. White Oak is often used to make wine barrels. The wood of the deciduous Pedunculate Oak Quercus robur and Sessile Oak Quercus petraea account for most of the European oak production, but evergreen species, such as Holm oak Quercus ilex, and Cork oak Quercus suber also produce valuable timber.

Mahogany Wood

There are four mahogany species in Latin America of the genus Swietenia, including Caribbean mahogany (Swietenia mahogani), Honduran mahogany (Swietenia humilis), bigleaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) and Venezuelan mahogany (Swietenia candollei). Bigleaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) is often regarded by experts as true mahogany. Known to the locals as acajou and caoba, mahogany is prized by all, which is reflected in its high value.

Mahogany lumber is easy to work with hand and power tools. The wood takes glue, nails and screws successfully and stains and polishes to an attractive, high-gloss finish. Mahogany seasons quickly but has a low bending strength although bending qualities are much improved by using steam as an aid. Mahogany heartwood is extremely strong and durable and used for many applications including veneers, boat interiors and interior design moldings.

Mahogany lumber is held in high esteem and people will do almost anything to have it in their possession. Poaching mahogany is illegal; however it means big business and big profits to natives who usually earn $1 a day working for limited employees in the jungle. Thousands of dollars are paid for one tree and the natives are willing to take the risks and dangers involved to glean the expensive wood to sell in order to take care of their family's needs.

Mahogany tree are usually found in densely treed jungle stands and the felling, cutting and hauling of such trees is both time-consuming and laborious. Once on the trucks, the logs are driven on primitive jungle roads and trails to lumber mills to be processed and bought quickly by mahogany buyers from all over the world.
