Quarter-sawn white oak		 Golden Oak – Model Number GO-LE-616

White oak hardwoods are quarter-sawn to feature as much “flake” as possible. This quarter sawing of oak is accomplished to yield the most stable piece of wood possible. Quarter-sawn white oak is the wood of choice in barrel making which goes back to the very roots of the founding of H. Gerstner & Sons. Beginning in 1906, quarter-sawn white oak was used in building the drawer fronts of the very first Gerstner leatherette covered toolmaker’s chests.
