About White Oak

White Oak is naturally rot-resistant and strong. These qualities make it a good choice for outdoor use. White Oak has traditionally been used to make railroad ties, fence posts, ships, and whiskey barrels.
White Oak usually has a finer texture and more patterned grain than Red Oak.
See Quarter Sawn White Oak for a more stable option with straighter grain.
