History and Characteristics of Rustic White Oak
White Oak posses a unique quality in that their pores are filled or plugged making them ideal for watercraft construction. Generally White Oak is durable but has medium stability particularly with flat sawn boards. These species are relatively abundant and are used for cabinetry, flooring, cooperage / barrels and veneer.
Specifications
- New Rustic solid wood flooring is normally milled to 3/4″ thickness .
- Vintage Lumber is also able to meet customer’s requirements for both thinner (minimum 3/8”) and thicker solid flooring.
- Most of our solid flooring is produced in random widths(RW) from 2” to 10”, on the full inch face. Typical RW ranges are 3” to 6”(3,4,5,6), 3” to 8”, 7” to 10”, or any combination needed. Board widths of over 20” are sometimes available in certain species. The wider the widths required, the higher the costs. Our RW flooring is usually not sold as a repeating pattern(equal lineal feet of each width). For prompt filling of orders, we base our RW counts on available widths in inventory, and we calculate a 9 or 10 board width sequence to facilitate installation to avoid all of one width remaining at the end.
