White Oak Wood Facts
White Oak is also known as Arizona Oak, Stave Oak, and American White Oak. It originated in North America. White Oak trees can live to be 600 years old and typically grow to be about 80 to 100 feet high. White Oak wood is water resistant and rot resistant due to its closed cellular structure. The wood can be used for barrels in the wine and whiskey industries because it resists leaking. It can also be used for boat building, flooring, paneling, coffins, shingles, railroad ties, plywood, trim, and joinery. FSC White Oak lumber is available.
