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.

Surfacing: Planed smooth on two sides. Not sanded.
When lumber is cut at a lumber mill, the thickness is traditionally measured in quarters of an inch. For example, 4/4 equates to 1 inch and 8/4 equates to 2 inches thick.
When you order WhiteOak lumber from us, it is surfaced on both sides (S2S), resulting in a loss of about 3/16 of an inch in thickness.
4/4 lumber will come surfaced to 13/16" thick, and 8/4 to 1 & 13/16".
After sanding or shaping, you should be left with about 3/4" workable material.
Looking for thinner material? See Project Ready wood.
S4S means the lumber will be surfaced on four sides—it is planed smooth on the top and bottom face with both edges trimmed straight and to size.
All S4S and S2S lumber is planed but not sanded. It will need sanding before a finish can be applied.
Looking for sanded, ready-to-go wood? See Project Ready wood.
All our Lumber is Select and Better (Sel&Btr) grade unless otherwise specified. Select and Better is the highest grade available.
Most pieces will be 83% to completely clear. Small peices are usually completely clear, while larger pieces might have small defects or a few sound knots.
