EUROPEAN
OAK
European oak is one of the most popular types of wood. It is strong and hard, but easy to process and finish. Under water it must be processed and protected, however, if it is used for, for instance, piling or yacht building European oak is often processed into veneers for the gluing of furniture. The appearance of, for instance, French oak makes this type of wood suitable for a wide range of applications in and around houses. Think of the construction of furniture (oak furniture wood), doors, window frames and staircases.
SMOKED
OAK
Oak contains tannin, the same substance that makes red wine & black tea “dry”. This substance reacts with ammonia vapors which are distributed in the drying chamber during the drying process. As a result, the wood colors “through and through” in a deep brown tone. The concentration of tannin determines the discoloration. This concentration is influenced by the soil composition and the living climate of the tree and can therefore differ greatly per trunk and even in different parts of the same trunk. Even though color is selected during the production process, it cannot be guaranteed that everything is the same color. So color differences can always occur in smoked oak.
AMERICAN WALNUT
It is dark brown, there are less differences in colour than in European walnut. American walnut can be easily processed and is therefore widely used in the furniture industry. Here it is mostly processed into exclusive furniture but also into table tops or worktops. Small knots are permitted, solid walnut is a beautiful dark brown type of wood with a luxurious appearance.
