The Unique Qualities of Quartersawn White Oak Wood Furniture

With a finer texture than Red Oak, Quartersawn displays a medullar figure known as fleck, or flake. This is due to the internal rays of the wood being exposed. Depending on the piece of wood, this flake pattern can be very dramatic giving it a three dimensional appearance.

As far as durability is concerned, Quartersawn White Oak is more stable than plain sawn wood and is less likely to be sensitive to environmental changes such as temperature and humidity. Additional structural benefits include a reduced chance of warping or cupping. Considered a harder wood than Red Oak, Quartersawn White Oak gets a 1360 on the Janka Hardness Scale.

Quarter sawing involves cutting the tree’s growth rings at a 90-degree angle to produce a uniform and vertical pattern. The end result produces tight, parallel lines running the length of the board.

Many Quartersawn White Oak trees stand over 100 feet in height and grow intensely in the Eastern United States. While it is not particularly hard to locate, Quartersawn White Oak is more expensive because it yields less lumber per tree and requires more manpower than plain sawing.
