Easy Size!
Hobby boards make it easy to get started on your project. They're perfectly sized to nominal 1/2x2 and 1/2x4 boards with clean, straight edges and smooth faces. They're lovingly milled from kiln dried, Select & Better lumber so you get gorgeous, clear, ready-to-use wood.

A robust, strong and good looking choice for furniture for sure. White oak has a consistent, creamy light tan color that's not quite found in any other wood. Stains very well, too, if you prefer. White oak is also one of the best domestic hardwoods for exterior/outdoor projects because it resists rot and decay so well.
