In medieval times, oak wood was used to build oak staircases, houses, furniture, boats, and ships for long voyages. Oak Wood has been highly respected since the Middle Ages, not only for its strength and durability, but also due to its highly attractive grain markings when quarter-sawn.

Oak wood's unique quality does not end there! Oak wood contains a high amount of tannin, making it resistant to both insects and fungal pests.
