Live oak is oak. I just looked on google pics. It Has rays on the end grain and porous looking face grain. Those two characteristics are oak for sure. I’ve heard there are over 23 kinds of oak trees. I’ve actually buring some now in my smoker
Were you running live oak or the Brazilian oak? I'm curious if there is a different flavor profile. Bourbon makers believe the different oaks should flavor differently. Plus, where is Brazilian oak available? Thanks
