Good to learn that you can get oak from orange trees (and apple), but it just seems a little off. Oak from orange? VG:SOH used to let you kill treants for wood, but otoh that always seemed a little too easy.

As a counterpoint, I don't find oak tough to get. Just going from the Myconian cave exit to serb I find a half a dozen on average when i check mushrooms. I'm constantly going through it, but also find a lot. Serb hills has a lot. And if I need a bunch i go trade with the horrible woman in Elt. It does help to know where to look in Serb, it's really only in that one quadrant from the Elt entrance to the Myconian Cave exit.
EDIT: Thought the bitching was a bit too familiar, didn't notice the necromancy. :)
I roleplay the different forms of wood as short hand for types, hard wood, soft wood, speciality woods in those categories, fragrant wood like cedar, strongest of hard woods or soft wood, most carvable. It is more about the value of the wood, is it easier to work with, create better looking end products. If you got into all the details it would get too complex for a good game, the legs of a chair need strength, the arms can be more decorative grain wise and more carveable. Of course maybe on Alharth oak trees can bear different kinds of fruit, as can maple and cedar.
Spoiler:
To break up treant wood you need lv 50 carpentry btw.
