Cut to Size / Planed American White Oak Timber
White oak planed timber is a strong, heavy wood which is prevalent throughout the eastern United States. With a medium brown heartwood and lighter-hued sapwood, white oak is straight grained with a middling texture, and is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
This timber is strong enough to be used for boat building and impermeable for reliable liquid storage, but still beautiful enough for use in premium furniture and high-end interior design. With a low stiffness and high level of strength, it holds up extremely well over time, and can also be machined extremely easily.
Made to Measure American White Oak
You will find your made to measure order of white oak planed timber good for nailing and screwing, and notice that it both stains and polishes well. However, pre-boring is advisable, and you will need to wait some time for the wood to dry. The heartwood itself is noticeably resilient toward both decay and preservation treatment, while the sapwood is only moderately resistant to the latter.
