oak branch
Sturdy wood extension
A branch from an oak tree—one of the sturdy, often gnarled limbs that extend from these long-lived hardwoods.
Oak branches are notably strong and slow to decay, making them useful for rustic construction and firewood.
Symbolically, oak branches have represented strength and endurance since ancient times, appearing on military insignia and civic emblems.
