Oak Veneer - Red Quartered Flake

Premium Red Quartered Flake Wood Veneer Sheets

Red Quartered Flake veneer—also known as Quarter Sawn Red Oak—is a specialty cut prized for its unique architectural character and historic charm. As part of our professional-grade wood veneer sheets inventory, this specific variety features a "Medium Flake," offering a sophisticated balance: it possesses the distinctive medullary ray fleck that defines high-end oak furniture but with a less intense, more refined distribution than traditional heavy flake cuts.

Combined with a beautifully straight, tight vertical grain, our Red Quartered Flake provides a visually stable and elegant surface for premium woodworking and architectural applications.

The Aesthetic of Quarter Sawn Red Oak

For designers and contractors working on period-correct restorations or high-end custom furniture, Quartered Red Oak with Medium Flake is the industry standard. It is the preferred variety for:

• Mission & Arts and Crafts Furniture: Provides the classic "tiger oak" shimmer that defined the American Craftsman movement.

• Luxury Architectural Millwork: These wood veneer sheets feature a straight grain direction that creates a sense of height and structural integrity in wall panels and custom doors.

• Refined Cabinetry: The medium flake adds visual depth without overwhelming the design, making it suitable for modern "transitional" kitchens.

• Custom Staining: Like all Red Oak products in our catalog, this variety features an open-pore structure. It is highly receptive to stains, allowing the medium flake to "pop" or remain subtle depending on the finish applied.

The Oakwood Professional Standard

We curate our Quartered Red Oak inventory to meet the rigorous demands of professional shops seeking high-performance wood veneer sheets:

• Controlled Flake Intensity: Our "Medium Flake" selection ensures that your project has visible character without the erratic, heavy patterning found in lower-grade quartersawn logs.
