red oak
Lobed-leaf hardwood
Red oak refers to a group of oak trees native to North America, distinguished from white oaks by their pointed leaf lobes with bristle tips and their more porous, coarse-grained wood.
The wood is prized for flooring, furniture, and cabinetry, valued for its strength and distinctive grain pattern with prominent rays.
The contractor recommended red oak for the hardwood floors.
Several species fall under this designation, with the northern red oak being the most commercially important.
