A word to the wise. If you ever have lumber sawn. Be SURE to separate the red oak from the white oak when you saw it & the bark is still on the tree. Once it is rough-cut it's a pain to tell them apart. Even after I've planed one side I have some white oak boards (I think) that look allot like red oak. The red oak is pretty easy to tell but I have boards that have the wider red oak grain, but the grayer white oak color. I guess if I can't tell no one else will know the difference.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with my aging eyesight.
