Strong, beautiful, rot-resistant, easy to work, and economical: White Oak represents an exceptional value to woodworkers. Its quartersawn sections display prominent ray fleck patterns, also referred to as tiger-rays, ray fleck, ray flakes, and fleck patterns. Quartersawn lumber is cut radially from the bark to the heart, producing ribbon figured patterns. Rift sawn White Oak is the most stable board, although it is the most wasteful to produce. It is known for its radial grain cut perpendicular to the growth rings of the tree.
