Can red oak be sealed to last as long as white oak for trailer flooring?
that is what I have read but we have a red oak blow down 40" x 20' straight as an arrow and dad was thinking if it absorbs stains so well for indoor use maybe it would absorb a sealer for outdoor use. I disagree but out of respect thought I should ask some people who know more about itRed oak is a poor choice for any kind of outdoor project. White oak on the other hand is excellent and is one of the most rot resistant wood types.

Keruing??If you can source it Keruing would do the job only problem for me is splinters are nasty
It is a hardwood similar in colour of Mahogany but with a more pronounced grain it was used for floors & structural parts on fair ground rides,since the demise of Elm it has also been used in the UK for the bottoms of composite construction canal boats it is very long lasting in an always wet or wet dry situations .In the Us it is Known as Asian Mahogany good out doors if treated with teak oil some logs exude a resinous liquid Depending on the source it can be really hard & dense & weighs heavy back in the day I've heard it referred to as Poor Mans TeakKeruing??
