Oak is characterized by heavy hardness, straight grain, coarse structure, elegant color and beautiful texture, high mechanical strength, and abrasion resistance, but the wood is not easy to dry sawn and cut. At the same time, if the large area is used in large areas, the degree of deformation is large, and the oak pattern also has straight grains.

How to distinguish white oak furniture
Whether the wood is fine and clean. If consumers buy dark oak furniture, they should carefully check the unpainted parts to see if there is a strong clean feeling unique to oak;
Whether the wood grain is clear and beautiful. The clearer the white oak wood grain, the higher the value. The rubber wood does not have the unique wood grain of oak;
Whether the wood color is pure. White oak furniture is best to choose "natural color", while the wood color of rubber wood is not pure, and even has spots and black spots. Consumers must pay special attention to those with darker colors (such as dark red, dark black, etc.) that are labeled as "oak furniture". This kind of hardwood is tough and will crack over time.
Whether the wood is dry. Due to the hard and heavy texture of white oak plywood 4x8, it is difficult to remove the moisture.
