0103 Oak Furniture - Versatile Material
Oak is a slow growing tree. It has a dense timber that does most things well. For example, it is not as rot resistant as sweet chestnut when used for fencing, but it is still a very good material for fencing. It cannot be carved as easily as lime, but is still a good wood to carve. It may not be as pretty as walnut or mahogany, but still has a beautiful grain pattern.
Perhaps of all trees, it is the oak that has contributed most to Britain's history. From the oak used for building ships, to the oak pit props that allowed British coal to power steam engines the world over. Oak is also a great timber for building solid, reliable, attractive furniture.
4403 Sideboards - Size
Sideboards were typically anything upwards of 6ft long during and prior to the Edwardian era, but as houses gradually became smaller, so did the size (this is according to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, houses are now half the size they were 80 years ago).
Many modern side boards are now around 4ft 6in long.
