9. Red Oak

Red oak carries a strong heavy look with a uniform grain pattern. Difficult to mill because of its hard texture raises the cost, but the good part is that it does not easily splinter and the open pores absorb the stains very well.

When finished, it would have a pale blonde reddish cast, which oxidizes to a golden honey colour which is a perfect choice for staining.

 

10. Hickory

A very durable wood with a distinctive grain, portraying a characteristic hickory look. If any furniture requires raw strength, hickory wood gets used.

A good rocking chair is just an example.

If something had to be invincible, which could take a lot of abuse such as shovel handles and wagon spokes, hickory wood is always a prerequisite.

        Generally, timber used on the basis of requirement and climate of that space. But, many also use it on the basis of choice. So, go on whatever types of wood use for furnishing, you want in your house.
