White Oak, like Red Oak, grows broadly across the eastern half of the United States. Although in smaller quantities than Red Oak, White Oak is a ring-porous species with a characteristic strong grain and rays that are longer and more pronounced than those in Red Oaks. The heartwood is light to medium tan; the sapwood is slightly contrasting creamy-white. White Oak typically grows more slowly than Red Oak and produces lumber with a “softer” grain pattern. The pores in the heartwood are impervious to liquid, making White Oak suitable for cooperage.
Red Oak is probably the most widely used and abundant hardwood in the eastern United States. Oak has a characteristic ring porous grain pattern; the wood is heavy, hard, and stiff. The Heartwood of Red Oak ranges in color from “wheat” to a “light honey,” the sapwood is light off-white. Red Oak is prized in the manufacturing of furniture, cabinets, and interior decorative items — especially flooring, stairs, and mouldings.
