Shenandoah Hardwoods has recently added a Rustic White Oak product to our kiln dried products. The rustic white oak contains small, sound defects and characteristic grain surrounding the defects.  The lumber is kiln dried, rough (unsurfaced) and offered in 1” width separations.  The photos below are of some surfaced samples and installed and finished product.
