European oak, also known Quercus robur, Oak is a wood species with a rich appearance and wide range of applications. The heartwood varies from yellowish-brown to dark brown and contrasts beautifully with the light brown sapwood. Quarter-sawn oak displays the characteristic “mirrors,” while the ring-porous structure creates a recognizable flame pattern. The quality and structure depend on the growing conditions, making each piece unique.
Due to its high tannin content, oak wood can react with metals and cause corrosion. At Boogaerdt Hout, we have an extensive range of oak wood in stock, including custom-made structural timber. The material is easy to work with and exhibits only limited movement after drying.
