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.

White oak is universally applicable in all areas of the wood-using industry because it is very resistant to external influences. It is highly valued in the veneer and sawn timber sector due to its expressive structure. In the USA it is of great importance as barrel wood (whiskey). It is used as veneer and sawn timber in all areas of the furniture, door, and panel industry as well as the parquet and staircase industry.

Veneer wood has large dimensions compared to other European woods (60 cm diameter and more), furniture and parquet wood, chipboard, excellent bending wood (seating furniture), well suited for workbenches, good construction wood.
