Oak red
Character / Color
The red oak has a firm straight grain and lightly porous wood in a soft fiery red tone. Eye-catching figures or stripes – caused by circular arrays of early-wood vessels and clearly separated annual rings – show up on the longitudinal plane. The radial cut reveals strikingly exquisite grain patterns as well.
