Project Description
Natural White Oak from TaylorCraft will be clear of pronounced defects but will possess inherent characteristics of the species in which only the extremes will be removed. Color and grain, while monitored will vary more and will not be as uniform in appearance as our Select grade. Natural grade is recommended when natural color and grain variations are desired or acceptable such as when used with medium to dark stained finishes. General characteristics of White Oak are: light tan to yellow-tan in color, somewhat more figured than Red Oak due to longer rays, and generally receptive to a variety of stains and finishes. White Oak may contain a minimal amount of mineral streaks, small, sound knots, and occasional wormholes. It is a time-tested hardwood known for its durability, water resistance and versatility.
If you or your customers are not familiar with the species or our grading, we strongly recommend ordering a cabinet door sample from TaylorCraft to prevent any misunderstanding.
