Properties and applications

European oak is one of the most popular types of wood. It is strong and hard, but easy to process and finish. Under water it must be processed and protected, however, if it is used for, for instance, piling or yacht building European oak is often processed into veneers for the gluing of furniture. The appearance of, for instance, French oak makes this type of wood suitable for a wide range of applications in and around houses. Think of the construction of furniture (oak furniture wood), doors, window frames and staircases.

Besides a lumber yard in European oak we are also a supplier of walnut wood, as hand yellow poplar. These are imported directly from America and are available from stock. For more information or a quote, please contact us.
