American White Oak “Province” Two Panel Internal Door
American white oak has light-coloured sapwood and a light to dark brown heartwood. White oak is mostly straight grained with a medium to coarse texture, with longer rays and more figure than American red oak. It has large distinctive growth rings, and some medullary rays may be present.
American white oak is a hard, heavy wood, and has low stiffness and good overall strength, making it increasingly popular as a structural timber. It has very good steam bending properties and is easy to glue, nail and screw. It readily accepts stains and polishes to a good finish.
