White Oak normally features a straight grain pattern and coarse to medium-coarse texture and naturally contains small, linear pores which makes it more ideal for staining instead of painting. The hardness of the wood makes it highly durable, which combined with its natural resistance to rot makes it an ideal choice for areas of the home with more moisture. It has coloring ranging from a wheat tone to a more greenish brown. Sapwood on the back is acceptable for doors in this material.

Rustic White Oak is chosen to include knots and character. Some are larger “live-knots” and some are darker colored knots. Sapwood is acceptable on the face.
