RV038-WHITE OAK CROWN

Great demand for closely striped blocks with a center diameter of 1 m and above.

One of the most common furniture woods in the USA. In recent years, hard maple has also gained a foothold in Europe as a furniture wood, especially as a "replacement wood" for pear, alder or maple in unsteamed white or muted pink tones. Due to its abrasion resistance, it is also used as a hard-wearing parquet wood in gymnasiums, etc. Turned as spools, shuttles, or billiard cues.

Greater importance as rotary birch for the furniture and panel industry (popular wood for bedrooms in the 1950s); and table and chair production. Very popular firewood. In larger dimensions (rarely) also produced as knife birch. The majority of the knife-cut birch is "yellow birch" from the USA.

Highly decorative elements such as fillings or fronts in interior design and furniture construction. Maple burl often has bark intrusions, and healthy, large-area tubers are extremely rare and very expensive. They are practically always fully grained.
