White oak is a common wood species in many interior designs, and for good reason! It has a clean, straight wood grain pattern, stains well and is durable. It even has some natural water resistance! An abundant wood type in North America, oak can be broken up into two common categories: white oak and red oak. White oak features creamier, white tones, while red oak usually features pinkish or reddish hues. The heartwood (the center of the tree) of white oak wood can be light-to-dark brown, while the sapwood (the outermost portion) typically features light and cream-colored hues. 

Traditionally the wood of choice for barrel cooperage for distilleries and prized for shipbuilding, white oak is now utilized in an array of home decor furniture and interior design styles. The well-known farmhouse trend uses white oak wood as a mainstay. 

As oak wood countertops continue to become popular among homeowners, white oak is an excellent choice to add as a kitchen countertop, kitchen island top, or kitchen table top. Not just for the kitchen space, these solid wood tops can also be used to make a DIY farmhouse table for your dining room or a unique bathroom vanity.

Easy Installation

Low Maintenance

All our wood countertops are easy to care for. Daily cleaning can be done with a soft towel and gentle dish soap to prevent the finish from breaking down over time. Depending on the mineral oil finish, the surface can be re-oiled over time to keep the surface looking great. Avoid using chemical cleaners and wax based cleaners as these will shorten the life of the finish.

Durability

Known for its durability, white oak is rated as one of the strongest woods on the Janka scale. It is also resistant to rot and decay, and has the added benefit of natural waterproofing. After your remodel project is complete, you can rest easy knowing it is built to last.

Appearance

White oak countertops come in a variety of options and are customized to meet your DIY project vision. The wood grain of white oak is typically straight and has a slightly less coarse texture than red oak. White oak achieves a clean, rustic ambience to your home without being overwhelming.
