White oak is a common wood species in many interior designs, and for good reason! It has a clean, straight wood grain pattern, stains well and is durable. It even has some natural water resistance! An abundant wood type in North America, oak can be broken up into two common categories: white oak and red oak. White oak features creamier, white tones, while red oak usually features pinkish or reddish hues. The heartwood (the center of the tree) of white oak wood can be light-to-dark brown, while the sapwood (the outermost portion) typically features light and cream-colored hues.
Traditionally the wood of choice for barrel cooperage for distilleries and prized for shipbuilding, white oak is now utilized in an array of home decor furniture and interior design styles. The well-known farmhouse trend uses white oak wood as a mainstay.
