In many respects oak is one of the best timbers that can be used for a table. Eminently strong due to its slow growth long grain, it also has a pleasing wide range of tones that go from soft yellow to deep brown allowing it to suit any modern interior. Because Oak is native to most of Europe and North America past makers did not have to worry about saving on its use either. This is important because the finest dried boards could then be chosen and milled thicker than alternative imported timbers. Also, although oak does tend to shift and crack slowly over time, this aging does not usually weaken the overall piece and instead just adds to its character and story instead.
When choosing an antique or vintage oak table you can be confident that you are purchasing something that will provide decades of use with very minimal upkeep. This is because unlike exotic hardwoods which are finished with a fragile polished finish, oak tends to be sealed with either simple wax or more recently a clear lacquer. Whether you are looking for a characterful Farmhouse table, elegant coffee table or appealing side table, choosing antique oak can be a great investment for your home.
