You know how they named Canada, right? Two guys were discussing what to name the country,
Guy 1 said, "Let's start with C, eh?"
Guy 2 said, "Good idea, then let's add an N, eh?"
Guy 1 said, "Only if we end with D, eh?
So they wrote it down as C-eh-N-eh-D-eh.

wood sounds like would, rhymes with good especially if it is that fancy stuff with the psychedelic patterns in it. Baa-Ko-Tee. Boo-Beeng-ah, Zur-koat-a, Oke, May-pole.

Now I am not sure I know how to pronouce "oak" or maple".

What about in French? Le Zircote? Le oak?

This is way too complicated.  I will take one of them there bows; the one with the light and dark wood.  No not that one, the one three bows to the right.  Yup.  That one right there.

Ain't she purdy?

Architectural millwork is my trade.  My dentist is a hobbyist. Every time I see him, he asks me about wood species’ I’ve never heard of. On the rare occasion that we do get to work with an “exotic” everyone is quick to correct the other guy’s pronunciation.  I’m convinced that none of us really know, not even the guys that sell it to us. If you ask me, I don’t even care… But man, there’s some beautiful stuff out there!

I dont mind being ignorant as long as everyone else here understands what I mean. LOL
