Graded. Export-Ready. Bennett Hardwoods sources White Oak primarily from the Upper Midwest, including Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The cooler northern climate and slow growth of these forests produce tight-grained logs with excellent color uniformity, strength, and machining performance. Every board is processed, kiln-dried, and graded in-house, ensuring ISPM-15 export compliance and full traceability from forest to final shipment. ![Map - Ash](https://www.bennetthardwoods.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bennet_Hardwoods_November2025/images/Map%20-%20Ash.png?width=1294&height=800&name=Map%20-%20Ash.png "Map - Ash") ## Kiln Dried White Oak Technical Data Table Ship American hardwoods worldwide directly from the forest, with full compliance and zero hassle. ### Scientific & Common Names | Common Names | White Oak | | --- | --- | | Scientific Name | *Quercus alba* | | Other Names | Northern White Oak | | Tree Distribution | Eastern and Central United States | ### Physical & Mechanical Properties | Color / Appearance | Light to medium brown with olive or golden undertones; straight grain with prominent rays, especially in quartersawn boards. | | --- | --- | | Janka Hardness | 1,360 lbf (6,050 N) | | Average Dry Weight | 47 lb/ft³ (755 kg/m³) | | Specific Gravity | 0.68 | | Shrinkage (Tangential / Radial) | 7.2% / 4.2% | | Elastic Modulus | 12.1 GPa | | Crushing Strength | 7,440 psi (51.3 MPa) | | Workability | Machines and sands cleanly; responds well to steam bending; glues and finishes effectively; excellent wear resistance. | | Odor | Distinctive, pleasant oak scent when freshly machined. | [View Live Inventory](https://live.bennetthardwoods.com?species=white-oak) ## FAQ - White Oak #### What is White Oak best used for? White Oak is at its best in cabinetry, flooring, and millwork. Its hardness and tight, closed-pore grain give a clean, durable surface that wears evenly and takes a finish well. #### How does White Oak differ from Red Oak? White Oak has closed pores, a golden-brown to olive tone and far better moisture resistance. Its distinctive grain pattern makes it a favorite with manufacturers and homeowners alike. Red Oak has open pores, a pinkish-red cast and is best kept for interior use. #### Does White Oak change color over time? Yes, gradually. Kiln-dried White Oak deepens from light tan to a warmer honey-amber tone with UV exposure. The change is subtle, and a UV-inhibiting finish can slow it further. ## Ready to Order?
