For beauty there are few woods which will compare with the variety known as English Brown Oak. Its knotty, gnarled grain brings out the best variety of shade and colour. Its colour is thought to be due to some slow incipient form of decay. It is comparatively rare. Colour may vary from an even mid brown to a stripy ‘tigerish’ figure.
