Timber Selection
The source of hardwood logs used in this Potter Lumber Red Oak Titusville comes from a 100-mile radius. This tight geography results in less variation and therefore a product with more consistency in grain, texture, and color.
Sawing Techniques
Potter Lumber uses selective sawing practices when cutting 8/4 Red Oak. This stock is produced from the largest of logs and is sawn with a focus on creating a “centered cathedral grain pattern” which results in less sapwood in each board.
Titusville Drying Practices
A careful combination of t-shed airy drying, pre-drying and kiln drying is overseen by our experienced team. Recent yard improvements including additional t-sheds a new fan shed and revised drying schedules have resulted in a premiere hardwood lumber product.
Full Value of the Grade
This 8/4 Red Oak represents the full run of the mill. Nothing is pulled out. It is truly unselected with average widths over 9", enhanced color consistency, and more overall value.
