- White Oak | NHLA
Species Guide White Oak Jump to Species The Basics Species Overview White oak is one of the most popular species from the U.S. hardwood forests, and is unique to North America. White oak has an attractive grain, similar to many other oaks grown globally. In general the sapwood of white oak is whitish to light brown and the heartwood is normally light to mid or even dark brown. The difference between the sapwood and heartwood of white oak is less distinct than in red oak. The wood of white oak is mainly straight-grained with medium to coarse texture. Scientific Name Quercus alba Avg. Board Length 6’ – 16’ Common Thicknesses 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4, 10/4, 12/4 Also Known As White Oak Avg. Board Width 6” – 10” Avg. Dried Weight 4 lbs/bdft Where It Comes From Growth Distribution White oak trees grow exclusively in North America and are widely distributed throughout most of the eastern United States in mixed hardwood forests. As with red oak there are many sub-species, all within the white oak classification, and together form the most common species group accounting for about 33% of the American hardwood resource. The trees are tall and easily identified by their rounded leaf form, turning brown in the fall. White oak also grows from north to south; some high in the mountains and others on low land giving rise to different characteristics. Thus there are significant variations in white oak depending on location, in particular between the slower grown northern and faster grown southern trees. As with red oak, they are regarded as sustainable for both domestic and export consumption. FIA data shows U.S. white oak growing stock is 2.26 billion m3, 15.5% of total U.S. hardwood growing stock. American white oak is growing 40.1 million m3 per year while the harvest is 20.1 million m3 per year. The net volume (after harvest) is increasing 20.0 million m3 each year. U.S. white oak growth exceeds harvest in all major supplying states. White oak from the USA is readily available as sawn lumber and veneer, in a wide range of grades and sizes. Due to lengthy drying times not all suppliers offer thicker lumber stock (10/4" & 12/4") but it is available in limited volumes. In the north the sapwood tends to be less than in the south where, due to the shorter growing season, the wood is grown faster with more open grain and texture. White oak may be sold on the basis of 'northern' and 'southern', but this may be an over-simplification of the differences according to growing location. 0-4K 4-8K 8-12K 12-16K 16-20K 20-24K Volume of live trees on forest land, 1000 m³ Uses Common Applications Its main uses are in furniture, flooring, doors, architectural joinery and mouldings and kitchen cabinets. It is also used in certain applications for construction, including structural glue-laminated beams, and other specialist applications.

- Birch | NHLA
Species Guide Birch Jump to Species The Basics Species Overview The wood of birch has a distinct difference between the sap which is white and the heartwood which is light reddish brown. The wood is generally straight grained with a fine uniform texture. Birch is heavy, hard and strong. It has very good wood bending qualities with good crushing strength and shock resistance. Scientific Name Betula alleghaniensis Avg. Board Length 6’ – 12’ Common Thicknesses 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4 Also Known As Birch Avg. Board Width 4” – 8” Avg. Dried Weight 3.6 lbs/bdft Where It Comes From Growth Distribution Birch trees are generally not too large in this pioneer species that can be overgrown by climax species, such as maple. Definitely a northern, cold climate tree, yellow birch is medium sized with a medium diameter although larger trees can grow infrequently. Yellow birch should not be confused with paper birch, which is softer in texture and lighter in color with scattered brown flecks. Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) data shows U.S. yellow birch growing stock is 541 million m3, 3.7% of total U.S. hardwood growing stock. American yellow birch is growing 7.09 million m3 per year while the harvest is 4.8 million m3 per year. The net volume (after harvest) is increasing 2.28 million m3 each year. U.S. yellow birch growth exceeds harvest in most of the main producing states including Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont. Birch is available in limited volumes as sawn lumber unselected for color but more limited in sizes and grades if red heartwood or white sapwood is specified. When selected for color FAS grade will allow 5 inch minimum width. Refer to NHLA Grading Rules for color sorting specifications. Birch is more likely to be available in thinner sizes 4/4” (25.4mm) & 5/4” (32mm). Veneer may also be available from specialist suppliers. 0-4K 4-8K 8-12K 12-16K 16-20K 20-24K Volume of live trees on forest land, 1000 m³ Uses Common Applications Birch, growing sustainably in the natural forests in the United States, is used for some furniture and joinery, such as doors and interior panelling and kitchen cabinets.

- Red Oak | NHLA
Species Guide Red Oak Jump to Species The Basics Species Overview Red oak is the dominant species in the U.S. hardwood forests – with distinctive grain, and wood that is not always red in color. The name comes from the leaf color in the fall. Red oak may be sold on the basis of ‘northern’, ‘southern’ and ‘Appalachian’. In general the sapwood of red oak is light brown and the heartwood is often, but not always, pinkish to reddish brown. The color difference between the sapwood and heart wood is quite distinct. The wood of red oak is generally straight-grained and coarse textured. Scientific Name Quercus rubra Avg.

Dried Weight 3.7 lbs/bdft Where It Comes From Growth Distribution Red oak trees grow only naturally and almost exclusively in North America, although planted elsewhere. They are widely distributed throughout most of the eastern United States in mixed hardwood forests. The trees are very tall. There are many sub-species, all within the red oak classification, which grow from north to south; some high in the mountains and others on low land giving rise to different characteristics. Thus there are significant variations in red oak depending on location, in particular between the slower grown northern and faster grown southern trees. Red oak are regarded as highly sustainable for both domestic and export consumption and, being the largest species group, are more abundant than the white oak. FIA data shows U.S. red oak growing stock is 2.62 billion m3, 18% of total U.S. hardwood growing stock. American red oak is growing 60.6 million m3 per year while the harvest is 31.9 million m3 per year. The net volume (after harvest) is increasing 28.7 million m3 each year. U.S. red oak growth exceeds or is in balance with harvest in all states except Texas. Red oak is readily available as sawn lumber and veneer, in a wide range of grades and sizes. Thicker lumber (10/4" & 12/4") can be sourced in relatively small volumes from specialist suppliers, but is widely produced through out the hardwood industry from 4/4" (25.4mm) through to 8/4" (52mm). In the north the sapwood tends to be less due to the shorter growing season, than in the south where the wood is grown faster with more open grain and texture.

- Ash | NHLA
Species Guide Ash Jump to Species The Basics Species Overview Ash is ideal for bending and turning. It is strong and tough with distinctive grain, character and color. In general ash is a light colored wood, with sapwood varying from white to yellow and heartwood light to dark brown, sometimes with lighter streaks. The color difference between the outer light-colored white sapwood and inner, darker, even brown heartwood is quite distinct. Ash wood is generally straight-grained with a coarse uniform texture. Its appearance has a very strong grain contrast between the softer summer growth and hard winter growth rings. No two pieces are ever the same in appearance. Scientific Name Fraxinus americana Avg. Board Length 6’ – 16’ Common Thicknesses 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4 Also Known As Ash, Northern Ash, Southern Ash Avg. Board Width 6” – 10” Avg. Dried Weight 3.5 lbs/bdft Where It Comes From Growth Distribution Ash trees grow commonly throughout the eastern United States in mixed hardwood forests, from the north in New York State to the southern States along the Gulf of Mexico, and everywhere in between. They grow high in the mountains and low on the plains and coastal areas giving rise to great variety of character. With such widespread distribution in latitude, climate and soil conditions, there are significant variations in ash depending on location, in particular between the slower grown northern and faster grown southern trees. There are also sub-species that add to this variety. Despite some longer-term threats by forest pests and disease to the ash standing stock of timber, ash is a prolific species. Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) data shows U.S. ash growing stock is 657 million m3, 4.5% of total U.S. hardwood growing stock. American ash is growing 3.3 million m3/per year while the harvest is 6.9 million m3 per year. Net volume (after harvest) is increasing -3.5 million m3 each year. The 2014 inventory indicates that U.S. ash growth exceeds harvest in all major supplying states except Michigan and Ohio, which are central to the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation. Ash mortality rates and removals are expected to rise in the immediate future, likely in excess of growth in some states, due to the EAB infestation. Ash is readily available as sawn lumber and veneer, in a wide range of grades and sizes. In the north the sapwood tends to be less due to the shorter growing season, than in the south where the wood is grown faster with more open grain and texture. Ash may be sold on the basis of color and is widely available for export. Ash was the 4th major American hardwood species to be exported worldwide by volume in 2015. 0-4K 4-8K 8-12K 12-16K 16-20K 20-24K Volume of live trees on forest land, 1000 m³ Uses Common Applications This sustainably managed wood from natural forests of North America, with its excellent environmental credentials, is popular with designers, architects, specialist users and consumers around the world.
