American white oak is more variable in colour, ranging from pale yellow-brown to pale reddish-brown, often with a pinkish tint. The multi-seriate rays are generally higher than those of the red oaks producing a more prominent and attractive silver grain figure on quarter-sawn surfaces. The grain is generally straight, and the texture varies from coarse to medium coarse.

American red oak varies in colour from pink to pale reddish-brown, there is usually a reddish cast to the wood although sometimes it approaches white oak in colour.

The quality of red oak depends greatly on growth conditions, northern red oak.
