Red oak project block 1-1/2" - product of Canada

Its strong grain pattern adds character and texture to turned pieces, while its solid density allows for clean cuts and crisp shaping on the lathe.

Because of its strength and availability, red oak was historically used in shipbuilding, agricultural equipment, and interior architectural details throughout North America.
