Oak (American White) Sawn Timber

Sawn Oak (American White) Timber:

Sawn, North American White Oak is like its European cousin, European Oak Timber, but is often drier, once it reaches UK shores.  This is often due to the kiln drying process. American White Oak can move dramatically if exposed externally.

Thicker sections of 50mm upwards of sawn American White Oak timber can have pocket splits and shakes which are not apparent until machining.

Sawn north American White Oak wood is a very attractive timber used for multiple applications. But in the UK, European Oak is the recommend option for external applications.

Add Woodubuy we offer prime quality American White Oak, to your requirements and sizes, in the UK and delivered to any domestic or commercial address.

American White Oak is a durable timber, but it has a wider colour variation, ranging from a pale yellow brown to a pale reddish-brown.

American White Oak is often used for interior joinery, units, cabinets, windows, doors, skirtings, linings, and other joinery projects. 

American White Oak heartwood is resistant to decay, but the timber can be attacked by ambrosia beetles and other insects. It is resistant to preservative treatment.

Properties:
White oak is a hard and heavy wood with medium crushing and bending strength and low stiffness. The wood has excellent steam-bending properties and has exceptional resistance to wear. It has tolerable blunting effect on cutting edges but generally works well, though this depends on the precise species used. Oak planes, turns, machines, sands, mortices, stains and polishes well. Pre-drilling is advised for nailing and screwing and it glues adequately. The tannin content can react with ferrous metals to cause iron staining. Not ideal for use externally as dimensional movement can be considerable when exposed to different conditions.
