Oak wood is versatile due to its many positive characteristics:
It is hard, tough and weather resistant. It has a regular grain and is grey to light brown, darkening with time. The distinction between hard and soft oak is based on the growth rings, which give the wood a different weight and workability. 🪵
Oak is dried slowly and carefully to avoid cracking and discolouration, and is easy to work and maintain. It is commonly used for veneer, flooring, wall panelling, doors, windows, framing, stairs and furniture. Its weather resistance makes white oak particularly suitable for outdoor and hydraulic engineering applications. Oak is also used to make the barrels that add flavour to wine, cognac and whisky. 🍷
Special designations such as beam oak, knotty oak or wild oak refer to the appearance and growth characteristics of the wood, not to specific oak species. Bog oak, which has spent centuries in bogs, is particularly hard and sought after for high quality furniture. 🌳
