Red Oak Superior
Red Oak Superior is our highest yielding grade, yielding at a minimum 83-1/3% clear-face cuttings and 66-2/3% on the back. Minimum cutting sizes of 3ā x 7ā or 4ā x 5ā. Red Oak Superior is ideal for applications requiring long, wide clear-face cuttings or multiple rips and chops. The 4/4 is available in three color sorts: wheat, pink, and tan, with the heavy mineral pulled.
We grade after drying and surfacing, and against all natural drying or surfacing defects (pin knot no defect).
