RED OAK | Tier 1 Domestic Hardwood

This is a tier 1 wood. Each of our materials belongs to a "tier", which simply helps you determine how expensive the material is. Our least expensive materials are in Tier 1, while our most expensive and exotic materials are in Tier 6.

Red Oak is usually a light to medium brown, with a slight reddish cast. The grains are very obvious and, when engraved, appear much darker than the rest of the engraved areas. This means that certain patterns will look a bit odd as opposed to other woods.

Red Oak is typically harvested in Northeastern North America.

ORDER A SAMPLE:

Before you make a final decision on which type of wood you'd like for your project, you can purchase a sample! Samples are available in two sizes:

— A small 3 inch square cut and engraved on 1/8" thick material - These samples are unfinished, raw wood and represent the quality of wedding invitations and signage you might be ordering.
— A larger 5 inch square cut and engraved on 3/4" thick material - These samples are lacquer-finished and faithfully represent the quality of each material as it would apply to your larger project, such as our unique boxes or inlay signs.
