Crafting ingredient
Planks are used in many crafting recipes. Doors, fences, fence gates, slabs, stairs, boats, trapdoors, pressure plates, and buttons must be crafted from planks of the same type, and the crafted result depends on the type used. For other products, planks of different types can be mixed freely and the wood types in the product is indeterminate.

Trivia

 * Many items crafted using planks or sticks have textures that most resemble oak planks, regardless of the species used to craft them. On the other hand, item frames and fletching tables resemble birch planks, cartography tables resemble dark oak planks, barrels resemble spruce planks, while smithing tables do not resemble any planks.
