Home » Our Lumber » White Oak WHITE OAK BLC white oak is harvested within our tight geographic region of north western Pennsylvania and manufactured at our single location, providing our customers with a consistent white oak product. BLC white oak is properly kiln dried, equalized and conditioned in our own kilns. Before kiln drying, BLC fresh sawn white oak is promptly stacked on Breeze-Dried™ stickers. A sticker and bolster are placed every foot. All green lumber is also end waxed to help minimize end checking. We also place a weighted roof on top of every stack of lumber when it is put on sticks and placed in our air drying yard. These weighted roofs stay in place until after the lumber is dried and cooled. We also use a 2” thick rigid pile bottom on the bottom pack of every stack of lumber. All of this is designed to give you, the customer, the flattest and straightest possible product, minimizing warp, cup, side bend and bow, increasing your yield. BLC also double end trims at an over length of 3” to give our customers maximum yield from every board. BLC grading standards for white oak: Prime Is put up 5” (5.0”) & wider, unselected for color. Lengths are typically sorted as 7'-8', 9'-10', 11'-12', and 13'-16'. Customers can request loads that meet their optimum length requirements. BLC Prime white oak wane restrictions greatly exceed NHLA rules, providing an exceptional square edge product for increased customer yield. BLC only allows in the aggregate, 1/3 the length (NHLA ½) and ¼ the width (NHLA 1/3). BLC Prime white oak is a true random width product with no widths pulled, resulting in a better average width and includes all the wide clear boards produced as we do not pull any clear stock from our Prime white oak. BLC Prime white oak makes an excellent choice for distribution yard stock. 1Com Is put up 4” & wider, unselected for color. Lengths are typically sorted as 4'-6', 7'-8', 9'-10', 11'-12', and 13'-16'. Inspectors greatly limit wane for increased customer yield. 2a & 3aCom Is put up 4” & wider, unselected for color. Lengths are typically sorted as 4'-6', 7'-8', 9'-10', 11'-12', and 13'-16'. Inspectors greatly limit wane for increased customer yield. BLC has surfacing facilities available on site and can S2S to your specific requirements. Additional sorting is also available at the customers request after surfacing as this may reveal defects not seen in the rough. These may include color issues, checking, planer splits, pin knots, thin ends or thin boards, etc..
