White or Red Oak. Standard inspection should be based on actual value, hence the inspecting of oak lumber would necessarily be more riged than that of walnut or cherry. A defect in high priced lumber does not diminish its value in proportion as a like defect would in common or low-priced lumber. Oak lumber should be carefully manufactured, allowing one-eighth of an inch in thickness, for drying and surfacing, and should be piled as soon as sawed, using dry or seasoned strips, and thus avoid stain, burn or ?nould. As oak is usually finished plain or antique, the more perfect the finish the more prominent the defects. Thin oak culls are worthless and should not be shipped, as they destroy in a measure the value of stock properly manufactured.
