Common Uses: Indoor use. Furniture, cabinets, interior paneling, veneers, turned objects, and other small wooden items, flooring.

Quarter-sawn sections display prominent ray fleck patterns. White oak (Quercus alba) tends to have a slightly more olive cast (as opposed to red), but color alone is not always a reliable method to distinguish between oak species.
