White Oak Lumber

White oak hardwood lumber has beige to light brown color with occasional olive undertones. Flat-sawn (or plain-sawn) white oak boards have a lovely cathedral arch grain pattern. It’s denser and heavier than red oak and is extremely durable. Since it’s very resistant to both water and wear and tear, it’s an excellent choice for high-use kitchen applications like cabinets and tabletops. At North Castle Hardwoods, we source our white oak wood from genuine Quercus Alba grown in a limited region. This gives it a consistent texture and makes it easy to color match.
