Tiger Oak wood has an appearance similar to brown oak, but is much more stripy .
Pippy Oak has what is known as a cat’s paw appearance on its surface.
Finally, Bog Oak wood is an extremely rare type of hardwood, and therefore less widely used than other types of oak wood.

When you have decided that you would like to choose beautiful oak furniture it is important to ask yourself a few questions first. Oak is a versatile wood and can be used to create modern and contemporary furniture as well as traditional varieties. It is available in a whole variety of colours and tones which is how our designs are able to fit in so well with all styles of home.
If you have a very new stylish living space with modern furniture, then it is best to purchase oak furniture that is lighter rather than darker. Darker furniture is much more suitable for very traditional houses. The next consideration to make is whether or not you will purchase solid oak furniture or that which simply has an oak veneer. Of course solid oak is more expensive.
