Oak scantling

Description

The oak scantling is a squared piece of solid oak, produced from rigorously selected timber. Widely used in joinery, cabinetmaking and interior fit-out, it is offered in sections of 50×50, 54×54, 60×60, 65×65, 75×75, 80×80 and 100×100 mm, and in lengths from 0.30 m to 2.50 m depending on the quality. Scantlings are available air dried or kiln dried; kiln-dried timber is kept in three climate-controlled sheds which prevent it from taking up moisture again after drying. Grading offers several qualities, with or without sapwood and according to knot diameter: QF1A/B free of sapwood (sound knots 15 mm max), QF2 free of sapwood (25 mm max), QF2/3X and QF4X with sapwood tolerated. Thanks to the density and the stability of oak, the scantling is suited to door and window stiles, staircases, mouldings and high-end furniture.
