oak as material

[unversalexpert11]

my neighbor was taking down his oak and said that I can have it to make whatever I want for myself. I've been planning a rocking chair and a bench for a while but I'm not sure if a fresh oak is a good choice?

Fresh oak might need some seasoning or drying before you use it to prevent cracking or warping. Once ready, it'll be perfect for your rocking chair and bench. You're about to create something amazing!

Well, I bought a table made of solid oak wood. So I guess it's a green flag?
