American Red Oak
American red oak is the predominant species in the U.S. hardwood forests with a distinctive grain, and wood that is not always red in colour. The name comes from the leaf colour in the fall. In general the sapwood of red oaks is light brown and the heartwood is often, but not always, pinkish to reddish brown. The colour difference between the sapwood and heart wood is quite distinct. The wood of red oaks is generally straight-grained and coarse textured.
Red oak is smaller than white oak. The wood is porous, and easily identified from the end grain, so not suitable for wine barrels.
