White oak is a strong hardwood known for its resistance to wear and tear. Grown in the eastern half of the United States, it is a straight grained medium to coarse hardwood with a pale brown appearance. The oak is kiln dried to 10%, making it suitable for internal joinery projects as well as allowing it to stain and polish well.
Most of our oak stair parts come un-finished, so we would recommend using a suitable timber paint, varnish, or wax. This will enhance the natural colours of the wood and offer a layer of protection for years to come.
Discover our massive range of white oak stair parts including spindles, newel posts, newel bases, handrails, base rails, caps and much more.

Oak FAQs
Because oak stair parts come unfinished, you’re able to choose whether you want to add a painted, varnished, or waxed finish. You should polish the wood as often as possible to maintain a good glossy coating. To do this, first dust the wood with a microfiber cloth to remove loose dirt, and then polish using a soft, non-abrasive cloth and hardwax oil to keep the rich colour and shine.
Because oak is a hardwood, it’s extremely durable, strong, and resistant to scratches and dents. Oak could be the correct choice for you if you’re looking for a long lasting wood to invest in a property that you’ll be living in for years to come. This way, you can rest assured that your staircase wont get damaged and worn out easily over time. This can be particularly important if you have small children that might spill drinks or drop items onto the wood, or a pet that might scratch the wood with their claws.
While in the short-term, a lightweight wood like pine could be a cheaper option, when considering oak’s durability and resistance to dent or scratches, it could become the more cost-effective option over a long period of time.
