    Hi
    I am a newby here and a buddying woodturner in South Africa. Can someone please identify this oak (approximately 80 years old.) ?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Any acorns? If yes, a pic (including the acorn cup) would help a lot with identification.

    Hi Again
    When looking around a little more, I discovered another specimen on the local common just outside my house!

    As expected. This species is grown here also, in fact I planted a small one myself but so far it is struggling.
