Oak - White Oak


White oak is a traditional wood flooring species with medium to coarse texture and an open grain appearance.

It machines well, nails and screws well although pre-boring is advised. Since it reacts with iron, galvanized nails are recommended. Its adhesive properties are variable, but it stains to a good finish. Can be stained with a wide range of finish tones. The wood dries slowly.

  • Colour: Sapwood is nearly white. Heartwood is greyish brown.

  • Texture: Open grain pattern, ring porous and coarse-textured.

  • Applications: Furniture, flooring, mouldings, millwork, caskets, cabinetry, turnings, mouldings, doors, kitchen cabinets, paneling, barrel staves (tight cooperage) and caskets. Generally available in thicknesses 4/4 through 8/4. 10/4 and thicker available in more limited quantities.
