Oak

Quercus robur

The stately English oak, also known as European oak, graces much of Europe, North Africa, and Asia with its majestic presence. Its distinctive hue ranges from light to medium brown, often with a subtle olive undertone. Straight-grained and coarse-textured, this oak varietal can sometimes even display an interlocked or irregular grain pattern, a testament to the conditions in which it was cultivated.

Prized for its exceptional durability and longevity, English oak is a favoured choice for forestry and produces a highly sought-after heartwood. This regal timber is celebrated for its versatility, lending itself beautifully to furniture crafting and interior design applications. Equally adept at taking on stains or bleaching, the English oak's adaptability makes it a premier choice for contemporary and traditional design.
