​About our American White Oak

​American White Oak is one of our customer favorites, perhaps because it recalls tradition, history and the pioneering spirit of the West Coast states.

The species: Quercus alba is a deciduous tree native to North America, found from southern Quebec to Florida, and from the eastern sea board to Minnesota.

The wood: American White Oak has highly figured grain with a closed cellular structure. Its color varies from yellow-gold to light brown.

Uses: The closed cellular structure makes it useful for flooring, construction, shipbuilding, agricultural implements, and in the interior finishing of houses. Its water- and rot-resistance make it particularly useful for whiskey- and wine-barrels.

Hardness: Janka rating - 1,360.

Sourcing: Our White Oak comes from accredited North American sources.

Availability: May vary throughout the year.
