Reviews for Roasted Red Oak 4/4 Lumber

I’ve used this to make gorgeous picture frames, an application of OSMO oil makes it look great. However, grain crumbles if you attempt dovetails which is probably due to the brittleness caused during the roasting process.

Very nice. Very straight no warp or cupping.

first time trying this item, overall pleased, a lot of saw marks and waste to get to he good stuff

Love these! Came nicely packaged and in good condition. Can't wait to make something with them!

My first view of roasted red oak (who knew it existed). The selection of boards are great, flawless and usable with minimum milling. I am looking forward into using the wood in my first project.

Bought roasted red oak, roasted walnut and hard maple. Beautiful wood, came extremely well wrapped. Several minor defects such as a knot that completely fell out leaving a whole, a crack, and several holes appearing as distressed wood. Overall, should be enough for my multiple cutting board project.

Roasted oak looks very good and is a good alternative for other dark species. It seems to lose some weight in the roasting process and feels a little stiffer. I have not started but I am going to use it for 3 table tops.

Absolutely beautiful!

This wood is great because of the color. The alternative to other "dark" woods at a reasonable (great) price. I do turning and segmented turning, and although the color is great it is not good for the lathe. even with the sharpest tools it "fuzzes and tears" badly. Much of the "life" has been cooked out. It will be great for trim and "flat" work. I think it is great for the right use.
