American red oak

Why Choose American Red Oak

American red oak is known for its warm, reddish color and distinctive grain. At Total Timber, we offer this species in Prime quality, specially selected for applications where both appearance and workability are paramount.

Features & Specifications

American red oak has a ring-pore structure, an average density of approximately 650-700 kg/m³ at 12% moisture content, and is distinguished by a slightly coarser grain than, for example, European oak. The color ranges from light pink to dark reddish-brown in the heartwood. Total Timber supplies this wood species in Prime quality, ideal for exposed work, furniture, interior applications, or custom projects.

Benefits for your project
