Hi Paul,

I would never worry about names (common names ie) of timbers they are just that most timbers I ever heard of in this country have lots of different common names but I for one avoid Botanical names since my main thoughts are grain and colour. Most of the so called Oaks arent really. I had a stash of around ten so called including Holm Oak was going to do a pen of each but heck life gets in the way.

Kind regards Peter.
