text: A famous survey of 1608 revealed 123,927 trees (197,405 loads) fit for the Navy and another 118,072 loads of ‘doddards’ (ancient decayed trees). The high proportion of ‘doddards’ shows the lack of replacement, caused by the grazing. From the outbreak of the Civil War many of these trees were being rapidly felled, whole woods being stripped of their oak. Even doddards were cut wholesale to provide ‘knees’ and ‘crooks’ used in ship frames.
ref: 1987, Phil Colebourn, Bob Gibbons, Britain’s Natural Heritage: Reading Our Countryside’s Past, London: Book Club Associates, →OCLC, page 96, column 3:

Felling for the navy continued for the remainder of the century and, periodically, during the 18th and into the 19th century. Besides oak, small amounts of beech and large numbers of ‘doddards’ (probably moribund oak, that provided big limbs, crooks and knees) were also taken.
