White Oak (Rift Cut)

White Oak (Rift Cut) is a common American hardwood. It is strong and dense with a high decay resistance due to the abundance of tylose in its cells. Rift Cut White Oak has medullary ray flecks that primarily run with the grain - and up to 30 degrees off the direction of the grain - which makes the flecks less noticeable when compared to the Quarter Sawn variant of White Oak. This lumber is typically straw colored; light tan-brown to a creamy beige wheat color. Grain structure is characterized as being pronounced and straight with a medium to coarse porous texture.
