American Oak. Our American oak is sourced from the slow-growth forests in the Ozark region of the central United States. This region, where the thin, rocky soil and the competition from the thick undergrowth, combined with the climate of the Mid-West, produce ideal growing conditions for the formation of tight, straight-grained timber. Commonly referred to as "the tightest grain American oak available today," our American oak staves and heading typically have 2-3 more growth rings per inch than those made available by other suppliers. French Oak. Our French oak is sourced from the premier forest regions of Vosges and Central France, known for straight and fine-grain timber. As a result of the French government's forestry management of these areas, the trees tend to be taller, straighter, and older. Once the trees have been selected and purchased by our team of log buyers, they go into production at our stave mill in Monthruex, France.
