The Commercial Impact of Oak Shake in Great Britain
R.A. MATHER and
P.S. SAVILL
The paper describes the results of a postal questionnaire survey into the extent of oak shake in Great Britain. On average, 21 per cent of all oak was degraded by some form of shake. On a national scale, this represents a reduction in potential harvesting revenues to growers of between £3 million and £8 million annually, and larger sums if the cost of replacement imported hardwoods is considered.
