Found in cabinetry, flooring, furniture and wine and whiskey barrels, the distinctive White Oak species is an architecturally foundational lumber. With pronounced cathedrals and dependable workability, Prime White Oak pairs a desirable pattern with tested durability. White Oak is naturally light-toned and neutral, it can also be stained or painted easily to match any décor. White Oak is the strong choice for time-tested beauty and durability.
Why Prime Colour Sort White Oak?
- Pronounced grain and wide boards
- Ideal for cabinetry, millwork or furniture
- Excellent exterior durability and moisture-resistance
- Glues, stains and finishes well
- Easily machinable and workable
- Clear, light tone is colour specified
Plain Sawn Lumber:
Cutting tangentially through the tree’s growth rings, Plain Sawn White Oak creates the highest yield of cuts per log. This cut increases yield and produces a grain that displays a very traditional cathedral pattern.
Contact your Sales or Specifications Representative for more information on how to configure White Oak for your project.
Specifications
Prime Grade Lumber:
Using the National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) Grading standard, Prime Lumber is a premium grade. Developed for the European export market, Prime captures grades within the Select and Better and FAS 1 Face and better grades and ensures only the very best production, drying and packaging standards are used to meet the demands of that market.
Prime Red Oak is designed to meet a minimum yield of 83 1/3% clear-wood cuttings on the best face. Allowed widths start at 6” and wider before kiln drying with lengths 7’ and longer.
Please consult with your Sales or Specifications Representative to guarantee you receive the product that best meets your requirements.
Colour/Appearance:
Red Oak grain is pronounced relatively coarse. As a result, it accepts stain easily. With a natural finish of a light, medium brown and reddish-pink undertones, Red Oak can also be painted easily to achieve a different appearance. Wide variation in tone and texture does exist within different growing regions. To determine the best source region for your application, it is important to consider region, mill, sort, and specifications. Here, Red Oak is colour sorted for consistency throughout the boards.
Workability:
Red Oak produces good results with hand and machine tools. It glues, stains, and finishes well and responds well to steam-bending.
Sustainability:
Red Oak trees are native to North America and are widely dispersed throughout the East. In the United States, it is the most common hardwood species, representing 19% of standing hardwood timber. Harvest rates versus growth rates based on US Forest Service census data show that 47% more Red Oak is growing annually than is being harvested. Red Oak is a sustainably sourced and common lumber.
We recognize the importance of ethically harvested lumber. As our most valuable resource, sustainably harvested forests increase the rate of carbon sequestration and significantly cut carbon emissions. Wood is a renewable and sustainable material for the built environment, requiring less energy than alternatives like concrete or steel. From harvesting to recycling, lumber is the most carbon-efficient choice for building materials. Wood is of the few elements that can increase sustainability in a building’s life cycle, reduce waste, and create positive biophilic health benefits. Increasingly, architects and designers are calling for a return to wood as the prominent basic building material.
As an early adopter of FSC®, we recognize the importance of sustainably harvested lumber. FSC® Certified lumber is available upon request. Contact your Sales or Specifications Representative for more information.
