Description
Northern Red Oak (quercus rubra) is often confused with southern so called "red oak" (quercus falcate), a species that is inferior to it in every way but price. Northern Red Oak similarly distinct from "black oak" (quercus velutina), "scarlet oak" (quercus coccinea) and other inferior woods that are marketed by our competitors as if they were true northern red oaks. Northern Red Oak is strong, easy to work with and more consistent in color and grain pattern. We produce Northern Red Oak lumber in standard thicknesses from 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 8/4, 10/4, 12/4. Packages are sorted according to National Hardwood Lumber Association rules as F&B or FAS&FAS1F (Face and better) grade, #1 common grade, #2 common grade, and #3 common grade. Narrow selects and short selects often are available in 4/4 and 5/4. Green lumber spoils easily in warm weather, and shrinks considerably in kiln drying, which causes splits and deformities, so proper quality controls are essential throughout the lumber manufacturing process. Our Northern Red Oak comes from preferred areas of prime Northern Red Oak timberland within about 100 miles (62 km) of our manufacturing facilities in New York and Pennsylvania. It grows in mixed hardwood forests that naturally regenerate. The species is rated by NatureServe as secure in its conservation status. Northern Red Oak is durable, hard, and heavy with good crushing strength and excellent steam bending properties. It machines exceptionally well, nails and screws well, and polishes and stains to outstanding finishes. It is commonly used in furniture, cabinets, doors, panels, mouldings, floors and caskets.
