• Color: Sapwood is light-colored; heartwood varies from light brown to dark brown.
• Grain Pattern: White oak grain is typically straight, with a coarse surface and longer rays compared to red oak, creating eye-catching and luxurious spear-shaped patterns.
• Scent: It has a light natural fragrance, bringing a pleasant feeling to living spaces.

2. Outstanding Technical Characteristics

• Natural Resistance to Decay and Insects: The heartwood contains a high tannin content, giving the wood natural resistance to decay, insects, and parasitic fungi without requiring excessive chemical treatment.
• Superior Water Resistance: Its tightly linked bottle-shaped cell structure (tyloses) helps prevent liquid penetration. This is why white oak is the number one choice for making wine barrels or shipbuilding.
• Mechanical Strength: The wood is heavy, hard, and dense, with excellent resistance to compression and torsional bending. It holds nails and screws well, making it convenient for interior construction.

• Color: The sapwood is white to light brown; the heartwood has a characteristic reddish-brown to pinkish-brown color. Color intensity may vary depending on the region where the tree grows.
• Grain: Straight grain, coarse texture. Red oak grain typically has fewer long rays compared to white oak but provides a natural, warm beauty to interior spaces.

2. Technical Specifications

• Average Density: Approximately 753 kg/m³.
• Hardness: Achieves 6583 N on the Janka scale, indicating that it is a very hard and heavy wood.
• Strength: Very high compressive strength, medium torsional strength, and can be easily steam-bent.
