European oak, crown cut: a warm, light golden-brown with open pores and gentle arched figure, tighter-grown than American oak.
Botanical name: Quercus robur / Quercus petraea
European oak runs slightly warmer and more golden than American, often tighter grown with finer rings. It is ring porous, so the pores read as open lines along the face.
Also held as edging. Leaves are generally available from 2500 to 3600 mm long. 3600 mm is always in short supply and needs its availability checked before it is specified. Natural timber, so it never repeats and colour and figure vary log to log: match a continuing job to the original order rather than to this page.
