Physical Characteristics

Red Oak is strong, durable, easy to work with, and consistent in color and texture. Our Red Oak lumber comes from preferred areas of prime timberland within about 100-mile radius (62 km) of our manufacturing facilities in New York and Pennsylvania. Red Oak machines exceptionally well and can be stained or polished to a beautiful finish. Kiln-dried Red Oak is commonly used in furniture, cabinets, doors, panels, mouldings and millwork, floors, and caskets.
