White Oak Wood
- White Oak wood is hard and heavy, but nonetheless elastic.
- The heartwood is very resilient, and durable even under water.
- It is whitish or light grey, varying from scaly to irregularly platy or ridged and furrowed. The colour of White Oak is a mix of browns and tans ranging from dark brown to beige.
- Wood density after drying is 800 KG per CBM.
- The wood dries slowly. This means that artificial drying is undertaken with care to avoid cracking and warping.
- It can be worked easily with most tools and machinery, it can be split easily and is well suited for use as a veneer.
- Oak shrinkage is negligible and stability is good.
