Oak is a somewhat heavy dense domestic wood that delivers a medium low tone.

The wood is pinkish to light reddish brown or light brown. The wood may also show a pronounced tan color. The grain is usually straight and open.

Quartersawn boards often have a flake pattern which is sometimes referred to as tiger rays or butterflies. Grain and color variation is usually pronounced and dependent upon the origin of the wood and growing season.

A select few Shooting Star Oak bones might have served a higher purpose in a former life. Crafted from spiffy distressed wood, these come festooned with funky little boreholes - all yours at no extra charge.

Excellent Choice for Novice Players
Says Mardeen Gordon who makes Shooting Star Bones: "In the 30 years that I have been teaching newbies, with all of the 25 different kinds of woods that I make Shooting Star Bones from, the one wood that never fails for a newbie is (drumroll here)...oak!"

Narrow (7/8", 1")
Narrow Shooting Star bones deliver a remarkable tonal range for their size. These bones are perfect for kids, people with small hands, and anyone who enjoys the traditional American (aka minstrel one-finger) style of playing.

Wide (1-1/8", 1-3/16", 1-1/4", 1-5/16", 1-3/8")
Wide Shooting Star bones are favored by many experienced players. If you prefer the two-finger (aka Irish or European) style of playing, then you will love these wide classic bones because they enable you to produce a remarkable tonal range. Not sure which size to get? We think 1-3/16" to 1-1/4" is ideal.
