Castlewood is pleased to announce that many of our Hardwood Range Hoods and Floating Shelves are now available in both Plain Sliced and Rift Cut White Oak, while all imported corbels, brackets, feet, legs and posts are available in Plain Sawn White Oak. White oak cabinetry has gained significant popularity in modern kitchen design, offering sleek, clean lines and a light finish that adds a fresh, timeless appeal to any space.
The difference between Plain Sawn and Rift Cut White Oak lies in the way the wood is cut from the log, which affects its grain pattern and appearance:
Plain Sawn White Oak features the traditional “cathedral” or arched grain pattern on the face of the board, with varying widths of the grain. This grain is more varied, giving it a more traditional, casual, or rustic appearance.
Rift Cut White Oak has a very uniform, linear grain with minimal variation. The grain is more subtle and consistent, resulting in a cleaner, more modern, and high-end look.
In summary, Plain Sawn offers a more traditional, varied look, while Rift Cut provides a sleek, modern, and uniform appearance.
