Building material

Oak planks

Picture to come.

Boards of oak, the most prized building timber in medieval England: strong, durable and resistant to decay. Oak was split radially into boards, a method that produced strong, stable wood, and was used for doors, floors, chests, coffins, carts and the planking of boats. Most oak came from local woods, where selected trees were grown on as standards among coppice.

Caveats (confidence: high)

Sawn oak boards become common only from about 1200; riven boards are typical of the century.
