RV014-WHITE OAK QUARTER

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.

Very good veneer wood, exclusively sliced ​​wood for face veneer. Preferred as fitting wood in interior design and for furniture. Good and light qualities are constantly sought after but are becoming increasingly difficult to find due to the high demand. Also very sought after as sawn wood.

Tiny knots in the grain resemble small bird’s eyes. The figure is reportedly caused by unfavorable growing conditions for the tree. The tree attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions the new shoots are aborted, and afterward, some tiny knots remain.

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.
