Before I did boats I did custom furniture and particularly counters and tables.
I worked with Red Oak, and Maple exclusively. Used to buy my chairs up in
Vermont. I have some huge clamping tables and a glue wheel for making butcher
block type tops. Like you, I really love working with red oak.

Our living room kitchen and dining room is dominated by red oak. The
cypress is starting in the new room we built. I did get a great deal
on a bunch of it ($75 for 450 lf of 1x6) so it is my new favorite wood
;-)

My dad used to talk about using cypress in the Nursery's he worked in down on
LA after the war. He said it was light, and would not rot so they used it for
flower boxes and such.
