In Response To: white oak (Jeff The Tall)

: I am in the process of taking a forest management class. In their workbooks
: they describe white oak as primaryly grown for firewood.

Hmmmm. I've never heard of anyone "growing" oak trees for any purpose. AFAIK, they grow too slowly to be commercially raised. Seen any oak farms lately?
