ABOUT OAK (ENCINO)
Oak is the hardwood of temperate forests. Mexico is one of the countries with the most oak species in the world, and several grow in the mountains of Oaxaca.
It has a straight grain, good strength and a neutral tone that suits almost any project. We use it for doors, floors and furniture.
The finish can shape its appearance, either keeping the grain natural or bringing it closer to the tone planned for the room as a whole.
