White oak, shaker, matte clear

White oak with a clear matte coat, so the colour stays pale instead of turning orange. The straight grain keeps tall doors calm.

Notes

Rift-sawn white oak gives the straight, tight grain; plain-sawn shows the wider cathedral figure. Both are sequence-matched across a run so the doors read as one board. A matte clear coat with a white tint holds the pale colour that oak loses under a standard clear.

White oak is the finish for rooms that want warmth without weight: media walls, wardrobes, banquettes. It sits well beside painted doors in the same kitchen.

Questions about white oak

Asked before the sample ships.

Will white oak yellow over time?

Untinted clear coats amber with age and sun. A matte coat with a white tint slows that and keeps the pale colour. Direct sun on one door will still change it faster than its neighbours; window film helps.

Rift or plain sawn?

Rift for a calm, linear grain on tall doors; plain sawn for more figure and movement on a smaller piece. We show both on the sample board.

Hold white oak in your own light before you decide.
