35mm 'Bare Wood' Oak FSC™ Certified 100% Frame Moulding

Oak Species: American White Oak – a somewhat misleading name as this oak features a distinct and attractive brown grain pattern. It easily accepts stains and finishes.

Cutting: Oak is one of the hardest woods and can only be worked with on professional framing equipment. For the best quality cut, order this moulding mitre cut to size on our Chop Service.

Joining: Joining Oak takes some skill - because underpinners displace the timber fibres as the v-nail is inserted, getting a tight join on dense hard woods can be a struggle.  If you work with these timbers, try the Hoffmann Frame Joiner, which routs a slot for a dovetail key. Once tapped into place, the key pulls the corner tightly together.

Finishing: Give Oak a beautiful finish with neutral or coloured waxes or light stains. Limed and patina effect waxes are very effective. Take a look at our wide range of finishing products.

Ordering bare woods: We take care to match the grain and colour between lengths as far as possible but it’s important to be aware that bare woods vary more widely than finished woods. Click on our short video to see a longer length. Bare woods can also be a little more prone to warping and twisting.
