| | Tanoak |
 | | Tanoak, although not a true Oak, is a member of the same botanical family and shares the same physical properties. |
 | | In the northwest, Tanoak grows among Douglas Fir in the West Coast Range and Cascade Mountains; in the southwest it is found among Coast Range Redwoods and Sierra Nevada Douglas Fir. |
 | | With sapwood that ages to a golden, reddish brown to almost identically match the heartwood, Tanoak has a straight grain like tropical hardwoods with occasional oak undertones. |
