Quartered White Oak
Quartered white oak is well known for its prominent display of ray fleck patterns traversing a very straight grain. Its heartwood is a light to medium brown, commonly with an olive cast. Nearly white to light brown sapwood is not always sharply demarcated from the heartwood. Quartered white oak was the material of choice for much of the opulent interior millwork a century ago for the many Brooklyn brownstones to the Vanderbilt mansions of NYC and Newport, RI.
