It is what it is, Tas oak is what it is known as, it's just a common name for a species, also a reconise name in the market place, I'm going to drop some Tas Oak this w/end. I'm also going to mill the Tas Oak, Then I'm going to sell some Tas Oak and becauce it is Tas Oak i'm going to get lost of money for my Tas Oak becauce it is Tas oak.

Sorry Jonny, can't let that one go on a public forum. Tas Oak is not a common name for a species. It refers several different timbers that are maketed as Tas Oak.

Google it.

cheers

How can one non specific name be more useless that another non specific name ?

He's a timber user providing his thoughts on the relative usefulness of 2 types of timber. I'm with him, enough of pedantry.

I'm guessing there are probably more species of trees called white pine than there are species called red gum?
