Description

Pale Oak Wood is a full block that shows pale oak bark on all six sides, a decorative variant of the Pale Oak Log added with the Pale Garden in Minecraft 1.21.4. You craft it by placing four Pale Oak Logs in a 2x2 grid, which yields three Pale Oak Wood blocks. Because the bark wraps every face, it looks clean on pillars, beams, and trim where a normal log would show its end grain. Use an axe on it to strip it into Stripped Pale Oak Wood with smooth pale wood on all sides. Each block can also be crafted into four Pale Oak Planks if you need building material. The block is flammable and works as furnace fuel, and it is available in both Java 1.21.4 and Bedrock Edition.
