On the wood species and stain sample wall we have Oak, Maple, Rustic Cherry, and QSWO.
Those last four letters often get a raised eyebrow, and most people aren't sure what QSWO is.
Hopefully, this will clear it up for you.
QSWO stands for Quarter Sawn White Oak.
Quarter Sawn wood is milled from the same type of log that typical white oak comes from it's just milled in a different fashion to obtain a different grain and more dense wood.
This particular milling provides the beautiful small grain in the wood that is often seen on well made antique furniture.
