Solid Oak Bookcases
Solid oak wood bookcases are frequently considered the
classic look for bookcases. Oak is a traditional North American and English
hardwood used for book shelves; its clean,
"classic" look is
also associated with estate library bookcases and
the look of formal English estate homes. You can, if you go about it right,
recreate that look in your home by a judicious use of oak book cases and oak
finishing. Generally, the darker the oak finish, the more "stately" your bookcases
will appear.
Choosing oak, however, requires careful evaluation of
staining. Stained solid oak bookcases
requires a special ability for the staining, though--oak
is a difficult wood to stain, and a professional and skilled hand
is required. We have that expertise; Molton Bookcases has long experience with
all kinds of finishes and woods,
including oak bookcases.
Oak is a hardwood; it is available from Canada,
the United States and several other northern countries, although unlike some
other bookshelf woods, it is not grown in the tropics. It is grown in England,
but modern furniture oak does not come from England, where supplies have dwindled.
