RV142-TAN YELLOW OAK

Paradoxically, red oak is sought after for use as front veneer in the furniture and door sector, as it is similar in color to white oak, i.e. light. Unlike white oak, it cannot be used as barrel wood because the pores are not clogged.

The heartwood is bright coral red to reddish brown, also orange brown and very decorative. The knife boards require intensive dampening, veneers must be stored covered, otherwise they will darken quickly.

It is used in the craft of carvers and sculptors. It is also very important as veneer and solid wood and in the construction of musical instruments (e.g. wind, plucked, and string instruments). In the veneer sector, Ebony is only used in the high-quality project, ship, and aircraft interior fittings due to its extravagant beauty and high price. Since each trunk has a different pattern, the products made with them are extremely individual and unique.

The heartwood is yellowish, irregularly veined with reddish veins, striped or spotted, and fades when exposed to light and air, but is nevertheless very decorative. Due to the small diameter, it is often flawed and has cracks in the heart, so it is only suitable for small furniture and inlaid furniture, and rarely for interior design.
