Oak timber is exceptionally strong and durable. It has long been a favorite for building houses and making fine furniture. It is ideal for making barrels in which to age beer and wine. And sturdy sailing ships built of oak helped the British Navy to dominate the seas for many years.
Oak timber is still valued. And the tree, is justly admired for its strength, dependability, and endurance. From a tiny acorn grows a mighty oak - yet another marvel of creation!
