General description: The heartwood resembles other oaks with a biscuit to pink color, but has a reddish tinge. Mostly straight grained and course textured, with less attractive figure than White Oak due to smaller rays.

Working Properties: Varies according to the density of the wood and growth conditions. There is a
moderate blunting effect on cutters, which should be kept sharp. Nailing may require pre-drilling and
gluing properties are variable. Can be stained and polished to a good finish.

Uses: Flooring, furniture, vehicle constructions and interior joinery.
