Buying attractive oak furniture
Oak has been used by carpenters, joiners and cabinet makers for centuries. Today it is highly fashionable for making furniture. Oak Furniture is highly prized for its warmth beauty and durability.
Why is Oak Furniture so popular? It is because it has endurance well beyond that of many of the other hard woods. Oak wood is very dense and is very hard and strong, It is also very resistant to both insects an fungus which means it does not suffer easily from wood rot. The grains in the wood are also very attractive. Oak paneling has been used to dress the wall of building for centuries. The Debating Chamber of the British parliament in London is a prime example of this. In addition it is often used for the manufacture of fine furniture.
Many of the old sailing vessels, especially those men-of-war were made of oak. As a child we were taught the Royal Navy anthem:

Jolly tars are our men
Steady, boys, steady”
