I have heard the term 'brown oak' before. What does it mean and does it add value to the wood? What has happened to the wood for it to become brown oak?

brown oak if good quality is highly sought after, rare to get large volumes of really good brown oak, hence the price fetched

I feel in awe of people like you who can take a piece of timber and turn it in to something beautiful like this. You should be really proud.

Brown oak is caused by Fistulina hepatica, it's early stages of brown rot. A long time ago trees were inoculated purely to produce brown oak. Wouldn't mind a table, or a pen, made out of it!

 

Bog oak is more expensive again though!
