Oak
Lumber
For many remodeling and new construction projects, there is no substitute for the beauty,
warmth, strength and durability of kiln-dried, knot-free red oak
lumber.
There are two kinds
of oak lumber at McGee Lumber company and each kind of oak has its
specific purposes. If you are looking for lumber to use
indoor and one of your requirements is beauty, read on. For
those interested in the strength of oak lumber alone, consider our
section on rough
cut green oak lumber.
Oak lumber is not only a
beautiful wood, but provides excellent strength and
durability. Oak window and door trim stands up to decades of
wear and oak does not damage easily.
Working with oak
lumber
Working with oak
lumber takes more time than working with many other woods because it is a
hardwood. But the extra effort is worth the difference when
the project is completed. Your oak trim, paneling, and
furniture will weather heavy traffic and staining oak provides
some incredible results.
Staining oak is easy
because it is quite dense and does not absorb the stain
quickly. You have time to apply the and work with even the
darkest stains without the oak soaking it up and becoming too
dark.
Cabinets, moulding and
paneling are wonderful applications for this prince of hardwoods.
One extraordinary
application for our red oak is wide (even 6") tongue-and-groove flooring. This
application creates a dynamite and unique look in any decor. If you want the best —
consider our beautiful red oak.
