White Oak

This grade is virtually the same as F1F except for the minimum board size required. Selects allow
boards 4" and wider and 6' and longer in length. The Selects grade is generally associated with
the northern regions of the USA and is also shipped in combination with the FAS grade.
Often export shipments of upper grades are simply referred to as FAS. The conventional
business practice for American hardwoods is to ship these upper grades in some combination.
Working closely with the supplier will enable the buyer to be sure that the expected quality will be
received. Whether FAS is combined with F1F (Face And Better) or Selects (Sel And Better) every
board in the shipment must have a minimum of one FAS face.
