White Oak – Live Sawn

White Oak Leaf

WHITE OAK – (QUERCUS ALBA)

A symbol of strength and beauty, it is no surprise that the Oak tree is the National Tree of the United States. The White Oak tree grows straight and to magnificent heights within the forest. In our region of Northwest Pennsylvania, you will not find many sub species of white oaks like you can in the Southern & Midwestern regions of the country. Our Northern White Oak produces very uniform color and a tight grain.

White Oak Live Sawn is Nature’s Choice.

Characteristics & Specifications

White Oak Live Sawn Characteristics

  • Unique cut that incorporates all the natural aspects of the tree with minimal waste, as a result of straight cutting select logs from outside diameter through the heartwood.
  • Varying grain from plain sawn cathedral grain, to rift sawn and the most spectacular quarter sawn throughout each board.
  • The wider the plank the more these unique characteristics are displayed.
  • The narrower widths have a unique mix of plainsawn and rift & quarter sawn. They don’t have the classic plain sawn in the center like the wider planks. Often these are a result of boards we had to rip in half. The end results creates a very unique and affordable flooring option.
  • Very stable floor due to high percentage of quarter sawn.
  • Great option for wide plank.
  • Very versatile in design – from rustic to traditional and even modern homes.
  • Natural, beautiful neutral light brown color
  • Stains well to achieve a wide variety of color.
  • Tight growth rings due to Northern Appalachian lumber.
  • Very popular choice for surface treatment – circle sawn, hand scraped & wire brush.
  • Random width is very popular.
