Oak Red Rift

Quercus rubra

Origin/Source

Throughout the eastern United States; expecially in the Appalachians, Ohio, Kentucky

Color: Slightly redder tinge than white oak (though hard for an untrained eye to tell), and is more uniform in color.

Slightly coarser grain, with large, rounded, open pores. A little easier to finish than white oak, though both are excellent.
