Drying Defects: Ring failure, Surface checks

Ease of Drying: Moderately Difficult to Difficult

Blunting Effect: Moderate dulling effect on cutting edges

Boring: Very good to excellent results

Cutting Resistance: Easy to saw Cutting resistance is generally medium but is variable. Cross-cutting and narrow-bandsawing are satisfactory

Gluing: Sometimes difficult

Mortising: Very good mortising qualities

Nailing: Pre-boring recommended, Wood is hard

Planing: good

Resistance to Abrasion: Highly resistant to wear

Resistance to Impregnation: Sapwood is moderately resistant

Response to hand tools: Responds Readily Timber from slow-growth white oak trees are softer and are easier to work with hand tools

Sanding: Very Good to Excellent Results

Veneering qualities: Veneers easily

Steam bending: Very Good to Excellent Results

Screwing: Fair to Good Results, Good screwing properties; Turning: Yields clean surfaces

Staining: Fair to Good Reaction between tannins and liquid from some products, especially those with high water content such as bleach and water-based finishes, may turn the wood green or brown.;

Their machining properties are dictated by the rate of growth of the trees: trees that grow slowly tend to be relatively easier to work with hand and machine tools. Faster grown southern trees are reported to produce wood that is harder than wood from slower growing Appalachian trees. White oak is widely used for vats and casks for holding liquids such as wine and spirits because it is highly impermeable to liquids.
