Oak Veneer - White Rift

Premium White Rift Oak Wood Veneer Sheets

White Rift Oak (also known as Rift Cut or Rift Sawn White Oak) is the premier choice for modern cabinetry and furniture where a clean, linear aesthetic is required. Prized for its straight "combed grain" and minimal "flecking," it provides a sophisticated look that defines contemporary interior design.

• Other Names: Rift Cut White Oak, Rift Sawn White Oak, American White Oak

• Similar Species: Quartered White Oak, Japanese Oak, Rift Red Oak

• Color Profile: Light beige to medium brown; finishes to a rich honey tone.

• Sustainability: Plentiful North American timber.

Rift Sawn White Oak: Linear Perfection

By cutting the log at a 90-degree angle to the grain, the rift-cut process produces a tight, vertical appearance. This specifically minimizes the medullary rays (fleck) found in Quarter Sawn Oak, ensuring a consistent and uniform look across your entire project. Because of this visual consistency, this species has become the industry gold standard for White Oak veneer for cabinets and high-end millwork.

Choosing the Right Grade for Your Project

We offer our wood veneer sheets in multiple grades to meet the specific needs of architects and professional woodworkers:

• Premium Grade: Hand-selected to be free of all natural markings. This grade is ideal for high-end applications where total grain uniformity is essential. We offer sequence matching for large-scale architectural projects.

• Standard Grade: Includes small pin marks or knots, providing a touch of organic character and "real wood" feel for custom furniture.

Technical Characteristics & Finishing

Rift White Oak exhibits a straight grain that is noticeably narrower and cleaner than Red Rift Oak. While it is naturally a light beige, it responds beautifully to stains and finishes. Our inventory is cut from larger logs, allowing for wider sheets and superior sequence matching capabilities.

A Seamless Professional Finish

To ensure a perfect match from the face of your piece to the vertical sides, we offer color-matched Rift White Oak Edge Banding. Using matching rift-cut edge band ensures that the linear grain pattern remains consistent across all visible edges of your cabinetry.
