Red Oak has a generally even grain. Because it grows slowly, oak is notable for having many growth rings on each board. Variations in color are very limited over time, even if it is exposed to intense light. Nevertheless, Mirage applies a UV protector at the finishing stage to preserve all the luster of its original color.
The sapwood of the oak ranges from white to pale brown, while the heartwood is reddish brown.
Ordinary wear and tear is hardly noticeable due to oak's open grain and natural reddish color.
Oak: Rich color, classic style!
More than 200 subspecies of oak are found in North America. The Northern Red Oak is found all over the eastern United States and in the southeast of Canada. However, because of the climate, the northern and southern Red Oak are different. Further north, the harsher winters slow growth and yield a harder wood. Trees can reach a height of 125 ft. (38 m) and considerable diameter.
