American Oak
American Oak, also known simply as American Red Oak, derives its name from the color of its leaves in autumn rather than its wood hue. The sapwood ranges from white to light brown. Similar to white oak but with a slightly less pronounced figure, American Oak is predominantly a curvy grain.
American Oak is highly favored for shelving due to its exceptional durability, stability, and appealing appearance. Its robust nature ensures that shelves crafted from this wood can reliably support various items without compromising on aesthetic charm or structural integrity.
