AMERICAN OAK

White oak grows in large areas of central and northern America. Our woods are harvested from the forest of the Appalachians, where the finest quality trees were born. It is a large deciduous tree, 20 to over 40 meters tall. It has a life span of over 500 years, sometimes up to 1,000 years. This is a very hard, yellowish brown wood, with straight grain and irregular texture. It is used in the making of fine furniture, luxury items, and musical instruments.
