I recently came across an opportunity to buy some flat sawn 4/4 white oak at a really good price. I’m just getting started making furniture and haven’t used white oak very much except for making a workbench. My question is would you consider flat sawn white oak suitable for building furniture? Everything I’ve read online suggests quarter sawn or rift sawn oak for furniture making.
A follow up question would be are there any good online dealers for quarter sawn white oak? I have had a hard time locating it from sawyers or hardwood dealers where I live.
