Rift Sawn White Oak Pen Blanks

Rift Sawn White Oak lumber has straight tight grain with heartwood that is a light to medium brown and commonly with an olive cast. The sapwood is nearly white to light brown and not always sharply demarcated from the heartwood. Principal uses for White Oak are cabinetry, furniture, interior trim, flooring, boatbuilding, barrels, and veneer.

Similar to quarter sawn lumber, rift sawn white oak lumber is also referred to as radial grain. This cut produces the most stable boards. It is also the most wasteful to produce. To produce rift sawn boards the logs are cut radially perpendicular to the growth rings of the tree.

Our pen blanks measure 5" long x 0.75" thick x 0.75" wide, and they are surfaced on all four sides (S4S).  They come in multiples of 15.
