<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 581220, member: 3235"]I'd just add that there is no tiger oak, but quarter-sawn oak. Tiger maple exists and is how the term was applied by folks to oak. Certain maple has the tiger figuring, but most doesn't. With oak, it's how the wood is cut (a premium cut), oposed to plain cut. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_sawing" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_sawing" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_sawing</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
