Characteristics and Differences of White Oak and Red Oak White oak is produced in large quantities in the eastern United States. Its color and appearance are similar to European oak. Its sapwood is light-colored, heartwood is light brown to dark brown, texture is rough, most are straight lines, pith ray is longer than red oak, so it has more wood grain than red rubber, hard and heavy wood, mechanical processing performance, Dyeing and polishing performance is good, because of its very beautiful wood grain and pith rays, white oak is more suitable than varnish varnish treatment, wood oak heartwood corrosion resistance and pest resistance ability is very strong, so rarely see white oak material Decayed and wormholes. White oak has a compact texture, delicate and comfortable feel; smooth texture, elegant color, high mechanical strength profile, solid structure, durable and not deformation, the disadvantage is slow drying, shrinkage when drying is relatively large, easy performance Change is not conducive to dry sawing and cutting, expensive.
Red Oak is widely distributed in various regions of the eastern United States. Oak is among the tree species in the eastern hardwood forests, with the highest number of trees, of which about eight are commercial trees. The appearance of red oak is usually similar to that of white oak, but due to the finer ray of the pith, the figure is less visible. The red oak is mostly straight grain and has a rough texture. It has its name due to red leaves in autumn, and its processing performance is good. , Dyeing and polishing can get a good surface, but it is slow drying and easy to crack and warp, high shrinkage, easy to change performance. Red oak is hard and heavy, with medium bending strength and rigidity, high breaking strength and excellent resistance to steam bending. The southern red oak grows faster than the northern red oak, and the wood is harder and heavier. The heartwood was rated as having little anti-corrosion ability and the preservative treatment was of moderate difficulty.
橡木不只是颜色的区别
Differences in oak need only the following points . Look for color <br> Red oak's sapwood is white to light brown and heartwood is pinkish brown. White oak sapwood is light-colored and heartwood is light brown to dark brown. For inexperienced people, it's still difficult to distinguish between red and white oak by color.
Second, look at the wood section <br> Under the magnifying glass to observe the annual ring of red oak, you can find very many cell holes, and the interior is empty, it should be easy to identify. White oak tubes have impregnated bodies. Although they are very subtle, white oak has excellent anti-corrosion and anti-insect properties. Water resistance is also better, so it can become a world-famous oak barrel material, while red oak can not Make wine barrels.
Third, look at the pith rays <br> Red oak pith rays are usually shorter, mostly 1/8''~1/2'' in length, and less than 3/4''~1'' in length. White oak's pith rays are longer than red oaks, and most of them exceed 3/4''.
Fourth, look at the leaves <br> This is the most practical and the easiest method, as long as the comparison of the shape of the leaves can distinguish red oak and white oak. The edge of the red oak leaves is sharp, while the white oak leaves are rounded.
Five, nitrite (NaNO2) test <br> This method is very accurate and reliable, although a bit overkill, but when the physical method does not work, you can still use this method. Note: Nitrite can only make color changes in the heartwood. First, we need to prepare the heartwood of red oak and white oak, and then use a 10% nitrite solution (1% to 20% sodium nitrite solution can successfully complete the experiment. Here we recommend the best concentration 10%). If Red Oak's heartwood is coated with a nitrite solution, the color does not change much over time, meaning that it is slightly darker and sometimes slightly greenish. However, if it is the heartwood of white oak, the color will change obviously. The color will change from the original color to the color of the sauce, and then it will gradually turn into a deep blue color, and it will eventually become almost black.
