Oak: hard wood, quite heavy. Broad yellow-brown heartwood, very bright sapwood, wood reacts to iron with gray-black color, darkens with time. Clear grain pattern, porosity and palpable texture at the edge of the grain, making it very susceptible to brushing. Visible core rays as shiny spots and ribbons. The material is extremely resistant to moisture and adverse conditions. However, it warps, large pores make it difficult to finish smoothly, it splits and frayes at the ends, which makes it not very suitable for small details. Traditionally in water engineering, for barrels. The tone of the color and the drawing do not match well with other species, not in one product. It relatively fits deciduous species with a clear border in the grain pattern as Ash, Robinia and Elm. Brushed oak blends well with brushed coniferous wood dyed under the color of Oak.
