Domestic Wide Plank Flooring

White Oak

Choice building wood since Colonial times. White Oak is renown for its use in timber framing, ship building and tight cooperage. The heartwood is a light brown while the sapwood is a creamy white color. White Oak has a tighter less pronounced grain than Red Oak. White Oak is a popular choice in older home renovations because of its tighter "older" looking grain. Quartersawn White Oak is prized for its uniform straight grain and high ray flake figure which are similar to building materials used in the late 19th century.Hardness/Janka: 1360. 5% harder than Red Oak
