Tiger maple is cut from red maple (Acer rubrum) so-called because of its brilliant red foliage in the autumn.inishing. The tiger or flame effect is in the grain of the wood, not the finish, although 18th-century makers of furniture, cabinets and violins scraped the finish by hand to accentuate the pattern.

Quercus alba, the white oak, is one of the preeminent hardwoods of eastern and central North America. It is a long-lived oak, native to eastern and central North America and found from Minnesota, Ontario, Quebec, and southern Maine south as far as northern Florida and eastern Texas. Specimens have been documented to be over 450 years old. Although called a white oak, it is very unusual to find an individual specimen with white bark; the usual color is a light gray. The name comes from the color of the finished wood. In the forest it can reach a magnificent height and in the open it develops into a massive broad-topped tree with large branches striking out at wide angles.
