maturin Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 is it plain oak or live oak? Ordinary oak from Indiana, I believe. The live oak scantlings aren't seeing much restoration work this time around. Funny how those logs make the ship look so small. It's suddenly easier to imagine putting a forest's worth into her.

Very very little virgin growth left anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragger Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 is it plain oak or live oak? Live oak doesn't come in the form of a log, at least not a straight one. And that's something the game gets wrong. Live oak is still not commercially available to this day. Because what made it good for scantlings and framework make it horrible for pretty much anything else. Not to mention that they have to be hand hewn so saw mills won't touch the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
