It can be difficult to get very long straight lengths. Scottish oak was used to make windows and doors in the Glencoe Visitor Centre. Strength and structure Grain: Oak is normally straight grained, although this varies according to growing conditions. Generally, forest grown oak will be straight grained, but in oak grown in isolation or in small or sparsely populated woods (which often applies to Scottish oak), the direction of the grain may be less predictable. If you need oak for structural purposes, the direction of the grain is important. Oak is a tree or shrub in the genus Quercus - Latin "oak tree" having approximately 600 extant species. 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 appealing grain markings, particularly when quartersawn. Oak wood is very durable, easy to maintain and resistant to wear and tear which is why it can be easily handed to the next generations if taken well care of. Oakwood virtually lasts forever and you can still admire oak furniture in museums and palaces even if it was made many centuries ago. Oak has been prized since the Middle Ages for use in interior panelling of prestigious buildings such as the debating chamber of the House of Commons in London and in the construction of fine furniture.
