Oak doors – an authentic decoration of the interior

Our ancestors built log cabins of wells from oak wood, and the water in them was cold and clean. Oak pieces of furniture, such as an oak table or a mortar, were valued in the peasant economy. They made barrels, tubs from oak, bent rims, and skids. And oak piles were driven into the river. In general, the oak was not subject to time. It did not rot in the water, was not damaged by the wind or the sun, and was too harsh for insects.

Historical information has come down to us about the value of the tree. 

On average, oak lives up to 1000 years. The diameter of its trunk can reach and exceed 2 meters. And the older the tree, the higher the quality of its wood is valued.

The core of the oak has a dark brown or yellowish-brown color, bends well, has a beautiful and large texture, lends itself well to large carving, and is easily painted and stained to black. When processing, a sharp and hard tool, and careful work are required.

For joinery manufacture, an oak-aged 150-200 years is required. It is used in the production of parquet, furniture, sliced veneer for finishing any products, mechanical engineering, and the manufacture of barrels for wine and beer.
