Wood Details
Wood Details: Red Oak
Technical Specifications:
Red Oak, scientifically known as Quercus rubra, is a robust hardwood, often compared to Pine for its practical applications but surpassing it in durability and hardness. With a Janka hardness rating of approximately 1290, Red Oak stands out for its strength, making it ideal for items subjected to frequent use. While Pine is softer and more pliable, Red Oak offers better resistance to wear and tear. The typical color of Red Oak ranges from a light creamy reddish-pink to a richer reddish-brown, featuring a distinctive grain that adds visual depth.
Pros:
Durability: Strong and resilient, perfect for high-traffic furniture and wooden products.
Grain Pattern: Its pronounced grain not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also helps camouflage minor imperfections.
Stain Friendly: Absorbs stains well, allowing for a beautiful, even finish.
Cons:
Weight: Heavier than woods like Pine, which may limit its use in portable furniture.
Moisture Sensitivity: Prone to warping or swelling if exposed to moisture without proper treatment.
Each piece of Red Oak is unique, offering varied grain patterns and color shifts that promise exclusivity in every custom project. Whether showcasing its natural tone or enhancing it with dark stains, Red Oak provides a warm and welcoming ambiance.
