Oak wood is exceedingly strong, heavy and durable. It is an attractive light colour with a prominent grain and is resistant to fungal attack, thanks to its dense constitution and long-living nature, which must equip the tree for its long lifetime. While oak wood is very long-living, the trees do have an expiry date, and at KIMANSO TIMBER, all our oak products have been sustainably sourced, often using the wood of naturally fallen trees. Thanks to its durable and hard-wearing properties, we use oak for collections that require lasting materials, like for kitchen accessories and chopping boards, but also in our lighting collections to add an attractive natural aspect.

Appearance
The shade of oak wood can vary from tree to tree and branch to branch. When a natural finish or oil is applied, the variations and contrasts of this gorgeous material shine, creating a beautiful natural feature in itself without the need for heavy ornamentation. Oak wood feels hard and smooth, depending on the finish.
