Oak
Tree-inspired moniker
Oak is a large, long-lived hardwood tree known for its strength and durability.
Oak wood is prized for furniture, flooring, and barrels—wine and whiskey aged in oak take on distinctive flavors.
The tree produces acorns and has lobed leaves that turn bronze in autumn.
Figuratively, oak suggests sturdiness and endurance: solid as an oak, hearts of oak.
