Hardwood Lumber

White Oak

Character

A premier hardwood, both in the U.S. and abroad. Widely used in architectural woodworking and furniture manufacture. Highly figured, even more textured than Red Oak and somewhat easier to work. Often, rift-sawn for a straight or "comb" grain effect, or quarter-sawn for a straight grain with highly prominent "flake.".

Color

Heartwood varies from a light tan to a darker, yellowish-brown while the less prevalent sapwood is much lighter.
