The name 'white oak' encompasses numerous species,
eight of which are commercially available as timber.
Very similar in appearance and colour to the European
oak, American white oak has light-coloured sapwood
and a light to dark brown heartwood. White oak is mostly
straight grained with a medium to coarse texture, with
longer rays and more figure than American red oak. It
has large distinctive growth rings, and some medullary
rays may be present
