Specifications and Species Information
Species:
Asian Oak Yellow
Botanical Name:
Quercus spp and Lithocarpus spp
Country of Origin:
Found scattered in the higher altitudes but also in lowland rain forests of South East Asia.
Colour Range:
Sapwood is not always well-defined but is usually lighter in colour than the heartwood, which varies between yellow-brown and red-brown. sometimes quite dark red.
Description:
Grain is straight to interlocked and a true oak-like silver figure is prominent on the radial surface.

Texture is rather coarse and uneven due to the irregular distribution of the vessels and to the wide rays.

Vessels are few to moderately numerous, medium-sized to very large, mostly large, exclusively solitary and arranged in bunched groups (festoons); tyloses are abundant in some species but scanty in others.

Wood parenchyma is abundant, in short tangential lines running across the rays, appearing like rungs of a ladder.

Rays are of two distinct sizes; the large ones are extremely broad, the fine ones are only visible with a hand lens.
