Kiln dry and ready to use. Smooth on both sides with clean, straight edges. Each board measures 1/4” thick, 3” wide, and 24” long. Excellent for scroll sawing or laser engraving/cutting. No knots. No cracks. No chip-outs. These thin boards are machined S4S and are sanded to 1/4" thickness, eliminating wear and tear on your planer. You won't have to worry about chip-out which is difficult to prevent when planing thin stock. Thin boards are ideal for edging, veneering, inlay, marquetry, sides for decorative boxes, bending stock, bent laminations and whatever else your imagination can dream up! Red oak is medium hard with a heavy weight but responds readily to sharp tools. It has good staining qualities and is often used for steam bending.
