Historic William Penn White Oak Log

 

This Amazing White Oak tree was growing when William Penn was granted Pennsylvania from the King of England in 1681. It grew in the Saint David’s Area near Newtown Square in southeast PA. I was not lucky enough to get the log. It went to a community project. I did get six feet of Buttress and the huge crotch. It grew very slow and has sixteen growth rings per inch and perfect color. I quarter sawed the butt into 8/4 book matched planks that are 22″ to 42″ wide, and 5′ to 6′ long. I flitch cut the crotch into 12/4 slabs 7′ wide. These could be end matched, book matched for bar tops Table tops or a base for a huge tabletop. The 12/4 crotch slabs are still on sticks and will be dried next year. Get creative and you can own a piece of history.
