Oak is a wood in the genus quercus of the beech family. The center of the tree to be shown yellowish-brown to reddish-brown.The characteristics of oak are heavy and hard, straight and beautiful grain, coarse structure, light and elegant color, high mechanical strength, wear-resistant, obvious growth wheel and to be shown slightly wavy,texture heavy and hard.
Oak Performance:
Moderate toughness, according to the demand to be processed into a variety of bending.
Color:
The center of the oak wood to be shown yellowish-brown to reddish-brown,obvious growth wheel and to be shown slightly wavy.
