Red Oak
Red Oak is a widely used domestic hardwood valued for its strength, availability, and distinctive grain pattern. It features a coarse, open grain with prominent growth rings, giving finished products a bold, traditional appearance. Red oak is mechanically strong and offers good shock resistance, making it suitable for both structural and decorative applications.
