Curly or Figured Red Oak



Pennsylvania Wood-Hicks

Ever hear someone called a hick often in a derogatory tone? That is who these people in this picture are. Woodhick was a common name for loggers and woods laborers from the mid 1880s until around 1915. The term lumberjack didn't come around until much later. Woodhicks worked in isolated, remote locations, and usually had quite a reputation for themselves. Here we see teams of horses skidding logs to a collection area where they were either loaded on a narrow guage railroad or into a waterway to make their way to the Susquehanna.

At MapleLeaf Hardwoods, we proudly present our Curly Red Oak, showcasing a selection of unique and rare figured species. As a trusted hardwood supplier, we focus on providing craftsmen with exceptional figured hardwoods such as Figured Red Oak. Each of these highly figured Red Oak selections features captivating grain and figure patterns that enhance the beauty and artistry of any project.

Finding beautiful figure in Red Oak is somewhat rare in that it only happens in around 1% of the red oak trees that are cut. It can range from a subtle figure to a strong wavy appearance to even a blistered or quilted appearance. The sapwood of this species is a white to light cream color, and the heartwood is a reddish brown to darker tan color. Sometimes the intensity of Red Oak figure can change just by changing the angle the light is hitting it which can make it difficult to get a good picture of at times.

The Value of Curly Red Oak

Our Curly Red Oak collection features varieties that are not only visually captivating but also rare. This tree species yields minimal amounts of figured material, which makes it highly sought after. Craftsmen can expect to find an array of sizes and thicknesses and each selection showcases distinct grain patterns that make it an ideal choice for everything from furniture-making to intricate wood projects.
Whether you’re a furniture maker, hobbyist, luthier, or professional craftsman, MapleLeaf Hardwoods is dedicated to supplying you with the highest quality curly hardwoods. Discover the exceptional beauty of our Curly Red Oak and elevate your next project to new heights.
