White Oak Lumber and Veneer
White Oak (or Quercus spp.), which is used for outdoor furniture and whiskey or wine barrels since it allows little to no water to penetrate its surface, grows mainly in the Eastern part of the United States. Usually having a straight grain, a medium to coarse texture, and longer rays than red oak, white oak is a hard and heavy hardwood with medium strength and great durability. The color of white oak stays in the light to light or medium-dark brown range, depending on which part of the tree it originates. Though white oak dries slowly, it stains very well. |
