Flat Sawn White Oak
Warm. Familiar. Naturally Grained.

Flat Sawn White Oak is known for its warm color, open grain, and familiar cathedral grain pattern. Its broader natural grain movement gives cabinetry a classic oak appearance with plenty of character and visual depth.

OCS stains on Flat Sawn White Oak highlight the wood’s texture and grain variation, making it a strong choice for projects that call for a warm, natural, and timeless cabinet finish.
