Appalachian Species & Grades

Red Oak Prime is our highest yielding grade, yielding at a minimum 83-1/3% clear-face cuttings and 66-2/3% on the back. Minimum cutting size is 3” x 7’ or 4” x 5’. Red Oak Prime is ideal for applications requiring long, wide clear-face cuttings or multiple rips and chops. This product is unselected in terms of the facility where it is produced. We grade after drying and surfacing, and against all natural drying or surfacing defects (pin knot no defect).
