It looks so simpleโฆ but so much detail.
You know when Barbra and I design this piece, we went back and forth for about 6-8 months on just the little details with what size of doors and what cloth and fabric we should use. But one thing was for sure was, this Rift Quarter Sawn (R&Q) White Oak. Some truly donโt understand how precious this species of wood is and what it takes to have such a high value in the market place. Hereโs a little break down on why we chose to constantly use this species
๏ฟผ โ White oak, a versatile and highly sought-after hardwood, has long been celebrated for its durability, appealing grain patterns, and versatility in various woodworking applications.โ
The differentiation lies in how the logs are cut, presenting customers with the choice between Quartersawn White Oak and Rift White Oak, each offering its own set of captivating features and visual appeal.
When you are selecting cabinetry for your living space, the wood you choose can significantly impact the final designโs look and feel. Quartersawn White Oak and Rift White Oak are two popular wood options, each offering unique qualities, including stunning ray fleck patterns and variances in color. These distinctive features are particularly pronounced when using our lighter stains like Natural, Buff, Sable, Sparrow, and others, we will explore the differences between quarter and rift sawn white oak.
But first, what is ray flecking?
The term is used to describe the appearance of medullary ray cells in wood. The medullary rays are lines of cells that radiate outward.
Because ray fleck is a common and visible component of white oak, it will be visible in both Quartersawn and Rift White Oak. In Quartersawn White Oak, you can expect to see the ray fleck run both parallel to the grain and perpendicular to the grain. In Rift White Oak, the ray fleck will run primarily with the grain, and up to 30 degrees off the direction of the grain.
