Oak
Kentucky horse fence tongue & groove: the black substance on the wood is a special non-toxic coating that discourages the horses and other livestock from chewing the oak planks. While you can purchase the wood “as is”, we have found planing off the black coating allows the oak underneath to shine through.
Our Sutter Homes tongue & groove is made of engineered wood backing with ⅛” oak veneers from the wine tanks’ staves, with some of the oak still stained from the wine. Horizontal dowel holes, wine staining, knots, and drilled-out knots filled with dowels are present. Due to dowel holes, this product is best suited to paneling, but can be used as flooring and siding.
We also carry a limited stock of oak in slabs, timbers, and tank staves that can be milled to spec.
