The 200-pound yoke that supports the 2080-pound bell at 520 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia is made of white oak. This durable and strong wood was chosen for its ability to support the significant weight of the bell while providing stability. White oak is known for its resistance to wear and decay, making it an ideal choice for such a heavy and historic structure.
