White Oak Pen Blanks

White Oak is generally produced in the Eastern region of North America with a few exceptions in the Midwest. The most common grain pattern that is found in White Oak is what is known as plain sawn. Plain sawn White Oak mostly has a cathedral grain pattern with a varying amount of vertical or rift grain on the edges. Other grain patterns found in White Oak are Rift Sawn, quarter sawn or a combination of the two.  The heartwood is a pale/light to medium brown, while the sapwood ranges from a light cream to tan with the occasional gray stain.

Oak is prominently used in furniture and cabinet shops, flooring applications and craft projects. It is also a very popular choice in cooperage shops where they make whiskey barrels.

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.
