RV113-WHITE OAK QUARTER PP

The heartwood is light brown to brown, and the grain appears as reddish-black dots. The most desirable arrangement of these dots is that they are distributed as evenly as possible across the surface. The black poplar is the only poplar species that develops grain growth.

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.

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.

Most common species of tree in the world. Its subspecies are found from the Arctic Circle to the mountain regions in the tropics. The most used species for the production of veneer in central Europe are the common pine and in southern Europe the maritime pine.
