At MapleLeaf Hardwoods, we proudly present our Curly White 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 White Oak. Each of these highly figured White Oak selections features captivating grain and figure patterns that enhance the beauty and artistry of any project.
Finding beautiful figure in White Oak is somewhat rare in that it only happens in around 1% of the White 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 greenish to darker tan color. Sometimes the intensity of White 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. White Oak is one of the densest domestic hardwoods and is heavy in heft and can really take abuse well.
The Value of Curly White Oak
Our Curly White 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.
