Title: Solid Oak, NOT Red Oak
Post by: Charlie Dearing on June 08, 2010, 03:09:28 pm
I have searched all over online and can't find any solid oak.  Somebody wants an item made of Oak, NOT oak plywood and NOT red oak.  I need at least 10 inches by 6 inches.

You might want quarter-sawn white oak. Ocooch has it, I think.

 Ocooch Hardwoods has Scroll Saw White Oak here. http://www.ocoochhardwoods.com/Scroll_Saw_Lumber.html But they don't have the width you want.

  They do have unsurfaced wood in 4/4 size on this page http://www.ocoochhardwoods.com/Unsurfaced.html No listing of widths but lengths up to 8 ft. Probably best to give them a call to see if they have what you want or can finish it to what you want.

 Their toll free number:  888-322-2432  Their email address: clhacker@mwt.net

    I have found some old pallets were made from white oak. Most places just throw them out. Dave 8)
