American White Oak resembles European Oak, being a mixture of species. However, it is more variable in colour, pale yellowish-brown to mid-brown, sometimes with a pinkish tint.
It varies also in quality according to locality; thus Oak from Canada and the Northern USA is generally harder and heavier than that from the Southern States.
The characteristic silver grain figure, due to the broad rays, is shown to advantage at the quarter cut material. The grain is generally straight and the texture varies from coarse to medium coarse.
These are some lengths we provide. Please contact Timspec directly for custom sizes and availability.
