Grown in the central region of Europe, our cut-to-size European Oak hardwood timber grows slowly, producing a uniform colour and straight grain. Greyish-brown to yellowish-brown in colour, the wood character of European Oak is heavily influenced by the conditions it grows in.
Takes glue, nails and screws well, except near to edges, when the timber should be pre-bored. Open to a wide range of finishes (staining, waxing, polishing, smoking, fuming, liming), European Oak can be finished to an exceptionally high standard, drastically enhancing the true beauty of this wood.
Medium to coarse in texture, the working properties of European Oak can vary from fairly easy to moderately difficult depending on growth conditions.
