Oakwood

Oak is also one of the most popular wood used in flooring. Oak is highly durable, easy to work with, and looks great when stained or with a clear, natural finish. Oak wood comes in a number of hues, but its grain pattern is quite unique, which makes it one of the easier species to recognize. It has a long history of use around homes dating back to pre-colonial times and remains every bit as popular today. While this makes it a mainstay in traditional design, its versatility means that it can also make a modern piece come to life.
