Oak, White
White Oak (Quercus alba) is nearly white with a generally grayish brown heartwood, and a hard, stiff, strong wood. The heartwood pores are usually plugged with tyloses (balloon-like membrane structures), which makes the heartwood impenetrable to liquids and thus making it resistant to decay.
White Oak machines and glues nicely, and holds fasteners extremely well, though it has a tendency to split when nailed unless pre-drilled. It is used for furniture, flooring, millwork, doors, veneers, and moldings.
Industrially it is used for planking and bent parts of ships and boats, as trailer decking, blocking, mine timbers, railroad ties, fence posts, and cooperage.
We saw white oak in our mill to be used as trailer decking, blocking, timbers, dump truck sideboards, and in marine applications.
