RV162-WHITE OAK QUARTER

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.

Highly sought-after and considered high-quality furniture wood for interior design and high-end furniture construction. Due to its high strength and elasticity, it is also suitable for chair and seating furniture production. Particularly used for gun stocks and aircraft propellers. Traditional wood for piano and grand piano construction.

Walnut burl comes in many forms: from head veneer to half burl (cluster) to full burl, which is still one of the most expensive and sought-after veneers. Frequent cracks within the trunk.
