Red Oak

The Number 1 Common grade is often referred to as the Cabinet grade in the USA because of its
adaptability to the standard sizes of kitchen cabinet doors used throughout the United States.
Number 1 Common is widely used in the manufacture of furniture parts as well for this same
reason. The Number 1 Common grades includes boards that are a minimum of 3" wide and 4' long
and will yield clear face cuttings from 662?3% (8?12ths) up to, but not including, the minimum
requirement for FAS (831?3%). The smallest clear cuttings allowed are 3" by 3' and 4" by 2'.
The number of these clear cuttings is determined by the size of the board. Both faces of the
board must meet the minimum requirement for Number 1 Common.
