About the Timber
Brown Oak is technically not a distinct species of oak, but rather refers to oak, usually English Oak, that has been infected with a fungus. This fungus has the effect of turning the wood to brown / deep brown colour. Once the wood has been cut and dried, the fungus dies, leaving a rich golden brown timber.
Oak is probably one of the most well-known deciduous timbers. There are said to be over 500 different knowns varieties of this tree and is known for its strength and historically it was extensively used in ship building from at least the Viking era. It was also used in the making of good quality furniture, barrels and numerous other items.
A lot of people do not like using oak as the grain can be very course, difficult to work and get a glass like finish with the grain sometimes being felt through the finish. However, I feel that most people buy a wooden pen for it to feel like a wooden pen and not a piece of plastic. Most of the oak that I use is English, but it is not always easy to tell particularly that sourced from old furniture
