12-Inch Rift And Quartered Oak
Extra-wide engineered oak cut rift and quartered for straight grain and ray fleck. Shipped nationwide from Auburn, Georgia.
This 12-inch wide plank oak flooring combines two sawing methods. Rift-sawn boards give straight, linear grain, and quarter-sawn boards show ray fleck — the silvery ribbons oak is known for. Together they make a refined, architectural floor.
Both cuts are naturally stable, which matters at 12 inches wide. The engineered build adds even more stability, and the long lengths keep the floor looking clean across large rooms.

Rift & Quartered Oak Flooring, In The Room
Real oak varies from plank to plank. Expect natural differences in grain and knots across the floor — order a sample to see the color in your light.
Installing Wide Plank Oak Flooring
We supply the flooring; your flooring contractor or an experienced DIYer handles the install. Let the boards acclimate in the room for several days before installing, with the HVAC running at normal living conditions, and follow standard hardwood flooring practice for subfloor prep and moisture testing. Random lengths install like any tongue-and-groove floor — stagger the end joints and pull boards from several boxes as you go so color mixes evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ray fleck?
Ray fleck is the shimmering ribbon pattern you see on quarter-sawn oak. It comes from the oak’s natural medullary rays and only shows on certain cuts.
Is 12" too wide for a small room?
Wide planks can make a small room feel calmer and bigger because there are fewer seams. Send us your room size and we’ll talk it through.
